Dolls from the German Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm Most of us grew up with the Grimm fairy tales, either in books, on television, or in the movies. These dolls are all based on the classic tales collected by two brothers in the early 19th century. They were not alone. Asbjornsen and Moe were doing the same thing in
Norway, and Afanas’ev did the same thing in
Russia. The tales the Grimms collected were not limited to German stories, and some trace back to Charles Perrault in 17th century
France. All of our dolls are characters out of stories, immigrants from the books that Keats called “Realms of Gold.” I hope that you enjoy both the dolls, and their stories, and perhaps decide to take a few home with you.
Most of our dolls are reversible. If you see two or more characters in a photo, that means there are two or more characters in one doll.
