The Brothers Grimm (die Brüder Grimm or die Gebrüder
Grimm), Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–
1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural
researchers, lexicographers and authors who together
specialized in collecting and publishing folklore during the
19th century. They were among the best-known storytellers
of folk tales, and popularized stories such as "Cinderella"
("Aschenputtel"), "The Frog Prince" ("Der Froschkönig"),
"The Goose-Girl" ("Die Gänsemagd"), "Hansel and Gretel"
("Hänsel und Gretel"), "Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin"
("Rumpelstilzchen"),"Sleeping Beauty" ("Dornröschen"),
and "Snow White" ("Schneewittchen"). Their first collection
of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und
Hausmärchen), was published in 1812.

Indo-Europeans, an ancient

today Europe and parts of
Near East Iran and India...
