Brothers Grimm fairy tales were nevermeant for kids

00:08①The brothers Grimm published what would become one of the most influential and famous collections of folklore in the world. 

00:16②However, they had curated the collection as an academic anthology for scholars of German culture, not as a collection of bedtime stories for young readers. 

00:29③The brothers asserted that they collected the stories with "exactness and truth," without adding embellishment or details of their own. 

00:39④In later editions, Wilhelm expanded the originally shorter, sparser prose and modified plots to make parts of the dark, tragic stories more accessible to children.

00:55⑤Though the brothers became a household name because of it, Children's and Household Tales was part of a bigger pursuit, to excavate and preserve the oral and written forms of German culture, to restore this treasure to the people.
