Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and his younger brother Wilhelm Carl
Grimm were the oldest of six children of a lawyer in Germany. Their
childhood days were idyllic. In 1791, the family moved to Steinman, another
little town of Germany where the father was employed as District Magistrate.
Here they lived in a great style, in a large turreted stone house that was also
the local court-house. In 1796, came the tragedy that was to change their lives
- the death of their father. The family had to vacate the government quarter
and move into a smaller house. The boys had a difficult time at school. They
were alone and their schoolmates looked down upon them because of their
poverty. To forget their woes, they devoted all their time to study, both
became brilliant students. However, the excessive physical effort caused
Wilhelm to fall ill with asthma, while at university Jacob Chanced to meet a
Law Professor, Friedrich Carl von Savigny. Impressed by the youth's interest
in research, the professor gave him access to his private library. He had a vast
collection of rare manuscripts of folklore and medieval literature. Jacob spent
hours reading these. He was filled with zeal to preserve these stories for
posterity and to protect Germany's endangered oral tradition of folklores, a
zeal shared by his brother. Thus, Jacob and Wilhelm began collecting ancient
German folktales from various storytellers. In 1812, they finally published
their first book "Children's and Household Tales'.
