Grimm Brothers

Yesterday I was writing about "Once Upon a Time" and
said that most of the charcaters were based on the
Grimm Brothers (Jacob and Wilhelm) tales. These were
never considered suitable for children!!!

The first volumne contained 86 stories and was
published in 1812. The second volumne had 70 stories
and came out in 1814.

The books were reprinted in 1822 and had 170 stories.

The 7th edition was printed in 1857 and contained
211 stories.

There is another T.V. show called "Grimm" it strarted
on 28th Oct 2011 on American T.V. on NBC and can be
seen here on Fox 8 Wednesday night at 8.30 p.m. from
January 4th 2012.

"Grimm" ia a police procedual drama were many of the
characters have been inspired by Grimms' Fairy Tales.

Of course like "Once Upon A Time' some artistic license
has been used.
