Abstract
The text before you attempts to express in written
form the discoveries I made in my reading. The
introductory material consists of a brief biography along
with the history of the KHM and the pride in German
culture which influenced it's start. Then I give a
definition of the type of fairy tales the KHM are, which
includes comparisons to other fantasy literature. The
text concerning the more extensive parts of my research
follows thereafter. The first section, "Grimms' Claim to
Fame", is a review and critique of the issue brought about
by John Ellis's book, One Fairy Tale Too Many. The
argument pertains to the authenticity the Grimms claimed
the KHM have. The next section, "Aspects of the Fairy
Tale as Literature" contains much of my own analysis. A
section on the importance of the KHM to romanticism
concludes this portion of my analysis.
