List of fairy tales

This is a list of fairy tales officially associated with the famous collection by Grimm brothers. It was first published in 1812 (first volume) and 1815 (second volume) and went through seven editions for older and seven editions for younger audience in the lifetime of brothers Grimm. It is actually not a collection of fairy tales, because it includes other forms like fables, cautious stories or religious tales too.

Some of the tales were added later and some were excluded. Just from the list we can see it was a huge work and corrections of the mistakes were inevitable. Yet, it was only a minor part in lives of both brothers who wrote many works which they consider of greater importance. Well, the majority of the world will remember them by this book of fairy tales.

The KHM mark in the beginning of the line is an abbreviation for Kinder and Hausmarchen (the original title of The Fairy Tales by Brothers Grimm) and the number is the serial number. These numbers were fluctuating a bit as well and some of the tales didn’t get them, so don’t be surprised if something doesn’t match.
