Kinder- Und Hausmärchen (1812/15) Teil 2

Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812/15) Teil 2

by Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm

This volume presents the second part of the first edition of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's iconic collection of German folk tales, *Kinder- und Hausmärchen*, published in 1812/15. This edition contains many stories that were later edited and softened in subsequent versions, revealing a more raw and often darker side to these classic narratives. The stories in this edition often reflect a more complex social and cultural context, including themes of societal anxieties and the role of morality in the face of difficult situations. This version also features a number of stories with Huguenot origins, such as *The Cat in Boots*, that were later removed from the collection. This first edition is considered a significant cultural artifact, and its inclusion in UNESCO's Memory of the World Register highlights its importance as a document of German history and folklore.
