The Brothers Grimm, were two brothers. Jakob Grimm, and Wilhelm Grimm. They both became linguists. They are the inventors of German philology. They also collected fairy tales, and wrote them down. They published a collection of Fairy tales known as Grimm's Fairy Tales (Grimms Märchen). They also did other language-related work, like publishing one of the first grammar books for the German language.
