Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) Grimm, were both German authors better known together as The Brothers Grimm. While they were most well known as authors, they were also academics that studied fields of lexicography, sociology, and philology. They popularized some of the most famous fairy tales such as, Cinderella, The Frog Price, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and more.
