Grimm's Household Tales, Volume 1 - Wikisource, the free online library. There would seem to be very little need of a preface to any book possessing the great advantage of an Introduction from the pen of Mr. Andrew Lang, especially when it is a book which has always been so popular in this country that it has fully proved its right to the name originally bestowed on it. The reader may, however, like to know something of its history as told by one of its authors in the preface to the 2nd edition, which was published in 1819.
The first edition was in two volumes, the first of which appeared in 1812. The brothers Grimm were thirteen years in collecting the stories in this volume. They were all picked up little by little from the lips of people living in Hesse and Hanau, the districts best known to the authors. This is how the Brothers Grimm did write them; much that she said was taken down by them word by word and its fidelity is unmistakable. History of Art. Wikiquote.
