200th Anniversary of Grimm's Fairy Tales






Today's Google doodle features a set of pictures strung together like a picture book depicting the famous tale of "Little Red Riding Hood". This together with other well-known tales like "Cinderella", "The Frog Prince", "Hansel and Gretel", "Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin" and "Snow White" were all written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in their first collection of folk tales named Children's and Household Tales (published in 1812).
