Synopsis
The Brothers Grimm , Jacob Grimm (January 4, 1785 – September 20, 1863) and Welhelm Grimm (February 24, 1786 – December 16, 1859), were German academics, linguists, and cultural researchers who collected folklore and published several collections of it as Grimm’s Fairy Tales, which became very popular.
Jacob also did academic work in philology, related to how the sounds in words shift over time (Grimm’s Law); he was also a lawyer whose legal work, German Legal Antiquities in 1828, made him a valuable source of testimony about the origin and meaning of much legal historical idiom usage and symbolism.[

Synopsis
They can be counted along with Karl Lachman and Georg Friedrich Benecke as founding fathers of Germanic Philology and German studies. Late in life they undertook the compilation of the first German Dictionary: Wilhelm died in December 1859, having completed the letter D; Jacob survived his brother by nearly four years, completing the letters A, B, C and E, and was working on Frucht (fruit) when he collapsed at his desk.
The first collection of fairy tales Children’s and Household Tales was published in 1812 and it contained more than 200 fairy tales. Some collections of the stories had already been written by Charles Perrault in the late 1600s, with somewhat unexpected versions.

Synopsis
In the original published forms, the Grimm's fairy tales were dark and violent, in contrast to the lighter, modern "Disney versions" of those tales.
They are among the best-known story tellers of European folk tales, and their work popularized such stories as “Cinderella“, “The Frog Prince", “Hansel and Gretel", “Rapunzel", “Rumpelstiltskin", “Sleeping Beauty“, and “Snow White“.

The Magic Mirror informs the Queen that Snow White is now the fairest in the land.
The jealous Queen orders a reluctant huntsman to take Snow White into the
woods and kill her. She further demands that the huntsman return with Snow
White's heart in a jeweled box as proof of the deed. The huntsman encounters Snow
White but decides not to harm her. He tearfully begs for her forgiveness and
urges her to flee into the woods and never come back, bringing back a pig's heart
instead.

Lost and frightened, the princess is befriended by woodland creatures who lead her to a cottage deep in the woods. Finding seven small chairs in the cottage's dining room, Snow White assumes the cottage is
the untidy home of seven orphaned children. It soon becomes apparent that the
cottage belongs instead to seven adult dwarfs, Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy,
Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey, who work in a nearby mine.
EXIT 3/8 MENU
Returning home, they are alarmed to find their cottage clean and surmise that an intruder has invaded their home. The
dwarfs find Snow White upstairs, asleep across three of their beds. Snow White
awakes to find the Dwarfs at her bedside and introduces herself, and all of the dwarfs
eventually welcome her into their home after they learn she can cook and clean
beautifully. Snow White begins a new life cooking, cleaning, and keeping house for
the dwarfs while they mine for jewels and at night sing, play music and dance.

Meanwhile, the Queen discovers that Snow White is still alive when the mirror again
answers that Snow White is the fairest in the land. Using magic to disguise herself as an
old hag, the Queen concocts a potion named "Sleeping Death" and dips an ordinary apple into the brew. The Evil Queen explains that Snow White would collapse into a magical sleep if she were to take even a single bite
of the apple.
EXIT 5/8 MENU
The sleep can only be cured by the power of "love's first kiss". The Queen reasons that
this is no danger to her plans, as the dwarfs would not be able to awaken Snow White,
and would think she was dead, thus resulting in Snow White being "buried alive".
The Queen goes to the cottage while the dwarfs are away and tricks Snow White into
biting into the poisoned apple.
EXIT 6/8 MENU
As Snow White falls asleep the Queen exclaims "Now I'll be fairest in the land!" The
vengeful dwarfs, alerted by the woodland animals who recognize her, chase the Queen
up a cliff and trap her. She tries to roll a boulder over them but lightning strikes the
cliff she is standing on, causing it to collapse. The Queen falls to her death, and
her body is crushed by the boulder.
EXIT 7/8 MENU
The dwarfs return to their cottage and find Snow White seemingly dead, being kept in a death-like slumber by the potion. Unwilling to bury her out of sight in the ground, they instead place her in a glass coffin trimmed
with gold in a clearing in the forest. Together with the woodland creatures, they keep
watch over her in an "eternal vigil".
EXIT 8/8 MENU
After some time, a prince, who had previously met and fallen in love with Snow White, learns of her eternal sleep and visits her
coffin. Captivated by her beauty, he kisses her, which breaks the spell and awakens her.
The dwarfs and animals all rejoice as the prince takes Snow White to his castle, which
glows in the presence of Snow White.
TRUE LOVEMany fairytales revolve around true love. The Prince and Snow
White find true love through only one meeting. When the Prince first sees her, he falls for Snow White and serenades her. She climbs up to a
balcony and watches with adoration as he sings to her. After Snow White has to run away, the relationship comes quickly to an end. Eventually, the Prince hears about the beautiful maiden who has died but still looks alive in the forest. When he comes to her, he recognizes Snow White and kisses her softly. This kiss - the first kiss of true love - brings Snow White back to life, confirming the power of love. Because true love lasts forever, Snow White and
the Prince live happily ever after.
