Jacobo y Wilhelm Grimm, dos estudiosos alemanes, dedicaron buena parte de su vida a recopilar cuentos y leyendas tradicionales, y esa inmensa coleccion ha sido imitada por muchos otros escritores, y asi dejaron bases para una literatura infantil que, sin embargo, atrae igualmente a los mayores, puesto que los cuentos tienen interes argumental y estan narrados con conocimiento.
