Kinder- und Hausmärchen, collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, was first published in 1812, with a second volume following in 1814 (pre-dated 1815). A revised edition appeared in 1819. The last German edition to appear during the Grimm brothers' lifetime was the seventh (1857). Although the most accurate translation of the Grimms' title would be Children's and Household Tales, most English readers know these stories as Grimms' Fairy Tales, or all-too often, ungrammatically as Grimm's Fairy Tales.
