really? what is your favorite fairy tale?
1_Wizard
Cinderella, since it has a "fairy tale ending", which translates to a happy ending. What is your favorite?

That's a good one too! Snow White is based on a German fairy tale created by the Brothers Grimm.

Brothers Grimm wrote a lot of awesome stories. I had a whole collection of their books
1_Wizard
Yes, they did. Their names were Jacob and Wilhelm. They were academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors.

You're welcome. Their classic collection, called "Children's and Household Tales", was published in 2 volumes. They were published in 1812 and 1815.
