The Grimms were quite the collectors!

I'm interested to see which tales they 'germanized' (a big criticism of their collecting/writing/storytelling) but I haven't gotten to that research yet.

I may be lacking a few minor tales. My favourite story (I think) was The Twelve Dancing Princesses.

Though I *really* enjoyed the Grimms' work, reading fairy tales back to back was surprisingly exhausting. Yes, no Disney happily ever afters. Yes, beautifully depressing. But I had to take breaks. If you plan to read all of them, I'd suggest switching between more popular tales and the lesser known ones––it might flow better that way.

I'm looking forward to doing more research on the Grimms family!
