This is a selection of Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm.  The list below includes links for several associated items which may be available online for each book: (a) Wikipedia page, (b) e-book, and (c) audiobook.  There is also a column called “More info” with links to optional posts on each book.

The fairy tales written and compiled by the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, known as the Brothers Grimm, are probably more famous than those by any other author.  Although many of the stories are not original, they are written in an easy-to-understand, popular style and have been beloved by children the world over for over two centuries.  The Brothers Grimm published their first collection in 1812 and kept revising and adding to the collection over the next 45 years, until the final edition in 1857.  There are over 200 fairy tales in their collection, out of which I have selected my favorite 80.

Note that the list is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.)  You can also do an instant filtering of the table by entering a character string in the ‘Search’ field.
