"Hansel and Gretel" (German: Hänsel und Gretel) is a well-known fairy tale of German origin, recorded by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812. Hansel and Gretel are a young brother and sister threatened by a cannibalistic witch living deep in the forest in a house constructed of cake and confectionery.
Hansel and Gretel are young children whose father is a woodcutter. When a great famine settles over the land, the woodcutter's abusive second wife decides to take the children into the woods and abandon them there so that she and her husband will not starve to death, because the children eat too much. The woodcutter opposes the plan but finally and reluctantly submits to his wife's scheme. They are unaware that in the children's bedroom, Hansel and Gretel have overheard them.

Little Red Riding Hood, or Little Red Ridinghood, also known as Little Red Cap or simply Red Riding Hood, is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf.The story has been changed considerably in its history and subject to numerous modern adaptations and readings. The story was first published by Charles Perrault.
The story revolves around a girl called Little Red Riding Hood, after the red hooded cape/cloak (in Grimm's' and Perrault's fairy tale). The girl walks through the woods to deliver food to her sickly grandmother (wine and cake depending on the translation). In the Grimms' version at least, she had the order from her mother to stay strictly on the path.A mean wolf wants to eat the girl.

Die Märchen der Brüder Grimm. Gesamtausgabe. Illustriert von Otto Ubbelohde und dem Malerbruder Ludwig Emil Grimm. Mit der Entstehungsgeschichte von Gerda ... der Märchenbeiträger (German Edition)
Wilhelm Carl Grimm was a German folklorists and linguists best known for his work "Kinder-und Hausmärchen" (also called "Grimm’s Fairy Tales"), which led to the birth of the modern study of folklore. He was noted as the most important German scholars of his time.
Background
Wilhelm Carl Grimm was born on February 24, 1786, in in Hanau, in Hesse-Kassel, to Dorothea and Philipp Grimm. Wilhelm Grimm was the second oldest of six siblings, and would later embark on an industrious writing and scholarly career with his older brother, Jacob. Their father, Philipp Wilhelm Grimm (1752 - 1796), was a lawyer, a town clerk in Hanau and later justiciary in Steinau, another small Hessian town, where his father and grandfather had been ministers of the Calvinistic Reformed Church. The father’s death in 1796 brought social hardships to the family; his mother died in 1808.
Education
Wilhelm Grimm first attended school in Kassel, then Wilhelm studied law at the University of Marburg from 1802 to 1806, following the path of their lawyer father.
Although some work in the rediscovery and edition of medieval German literature had already been undertaken in the 18th century, it was the first generation of romantic poets and theorists about the beginning of the next century, especially Ludwig Tieck, Novalis, and the Schlegel brothers, who first focused national attention on the origins of German culture and literature.
Their even tempered dispositions assured cooperation on all the projects they undertook together.
The main difference in their personalities seems to be that Jakob, the more robust of the two, had more taste for grueling research work, and it was he who worked out most of their grammatical and linguistic theories.
Following their own interests in folklore and legends, the brothers brought out their first collection of tales, Kinder-und Hausmärchen (Tales of Children and the Home), in 1812. These tales were collected by recording stories told by peasants and villagers. Wilhelm put them into literary form and gave them a pleasant, childlike style. The brothers added many scholarly footnotes on the tales' sources and analogs.
In addition, the Grimms worked on editing remnants of other folklore and primitive literature. Between 1816 and 1818 they published two volumes of Deutsche Sagen (German Legends), and about the same time they published a volume of studies in early literary history, Altdeutsche Wälder (Old German Forests).
In later years the brothers, and especially Jakob, were also working to codify the relationship between similar words of related languages, such as English apple and German Apfel. Their formulation of the rules for such relationships became known as "Grimm's law." It was later elaborated to account for all word relationships in the Indo-European group of languages. The Grimm brothers were not the first to take note of such similarities, but they can be credited with amassing the bulk of linguistic data and working out the details of the rules.
In 1830 the brothers moved to the University of Göttingen, where Wilhelm was appointed assistant librarian. Afterwards Wilhelm attained the rank of professor in 1835. His brother, Jakob Grimm, also was named professor and held lectures on linguistics and cultural history. Soon both were dismissed in 1835 for political reasons:they had joined in signing a protest against the King's decision to abolish the Hanover constitution. They first moved back to Kassel but later obtained professorships at Berlin, where they were to remain until their deaths.
Their last years were spent in preparing the definitive dictionary of the German language, tracing the etymological derivation of every word. The first volume, published in 1854, has 1, 824 pages and gets only as far as the word Biermolke. Four pages are devoted to the letter A alone, which is termed "the most noble and primeval of all sounds." The Grimms' dictionary was carried on by generations of scholars after the brothers' deaths, and it was finished in 1960. Its completed form consists of 16 weighty volumes.
While studying at the University, the inspiration of Friedrich von Savigny awakened in him an interest in past cultures. Influenced by German Romanticism, a prevailing movement of the time, the brothers robustly studied the folklore of their region, with an emphasis on recording village oral storytelling that was vanishing with the advent of new technology. Despite the emphasis on village oral traditions, the stories were in fact an amalgamation of oral and previously printed fairy tales, as well as information shared by friends, family members and acquaintances, with non-German influences.
Quotations:
He who repents his sin and acknowledges it, is forgiven.
He who helped you when you were in trouble ought not afterwards be despised by you.
Then her envious heart had peace, as much as an envious heart can have.
Personality
In comparison to his brother Jacob, Wilhelm was physically weaker but had a somewhat warmer temperament and more taste for music and literature. He had a less comprehensive and energetic mind than his brother, and he had less of the spirit of investigation, preferring to confine himself to some limited and definitely bounded field of work.
Physical Characteristics:
As a boy, he was strong and healthy, but while growing up he suffered a long and severe illness which left him weak the rest of his life.
Quotes from others about the person
Cleasby describes him as “an uncommonly animated, jovial fellow.”
Interests
Wilhelm took great delight in music and had a remarkable gift of story-telling.
Connections
In 1825, 39-year-old Wilhelm married Henriette Dorothea Wild, also known as Dortchen. Wilhelm's marriage did not change the harmony of the brothers. Wilhelm and Henriette had four children together: Jacob, Herman Friedrich, Rudolf Georg, and Barbara Auguste Luise Pauline Marie.
