I always have enjoyed Grimm’s fairy tales and hadn’t really known anything about the brothers in real life. Ann Schmiesing was able to bring the brothers back to life in this, and in a factual way. I thought the research was wonderfully done and was invested what I learned.

Fascinating! I love the Grimm tales and was looking forward to learning more about the brothers through this book. I was absolutely fascinated by their lives and what they lived through. Also, I never knew just how much other writing they had been responsible for. This thorough and interesting account of their lives was a wonderful read!

A wonderfully detailed, academic and accessible biography of Grimm Brothers.
It was insightful to learn more about the brothers’ contributions outside of fairy tales.

I lovedddd this book so much!! Every page was a masterpiece of work. I really recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can because it's really good.

If you've ever wanted to learn more about the brilliant minds behind the fairy tales we grew up with, look no further. This biography of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, better known as the Brothers Grimm, delves into their remarkable accomplishments across various fields and the lasting legacy they've left behind.
