Grimm, the Brothers

74; Brothers Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859) are
known for their collections of folk songs and folktales, especially
Kinder- und Hausmärchen ("Child and Family Fairy Tales," aka "Grimm's
Fairy Tales") (1812-22), which formed a foundation for the science of
comparative folklore. Apparently, Jacob Grimm's large work Teutonic
Mythology provided source material for Gravity's Rainbow.
