About the author

German philologist and folklorist Jakob Ludwig Karl Grimm in 1822 formulated Grimm's Law, the basis for much of modern comparative linguistics. With his brother Wilhelm Karl Grimm (1786-1859), he collected Germanic folk tales and published them as Grimm's Fairy Tales (1812-1815).

Indo-European stop consonants, represented in Germanic, underwent the regular changes that Grimm's Law describes; this law essentially states that Indo-European p shifted to Germanic f, t shifted to th, and k shifted to h. Indo-European b shifted to Germanic p, d shifted to t, and g shifted to k. Indo-European bh shifted to Germanic b, dh shifted to d, and gh shifted to g.

This jurist and mythologist also authored the monumental German Dictionary and his Deutsche Mythologie .

داستان شصت و دوم از همخوانی برادران گریم.
یه سری داستاناشون که از ابتدا چیزای زیادی برا دارک شدن و ترسناک شدن نداشتن یهو ترسناک میشدن ولی در جایی دیگر مثل همین داستان با اینکه پتانسیل وحشتناک‌تر شدن بسیار بالایی داشت اما ازش استفاده نکردند و به پایان خوشش رضایت دادند.
