They published the first and second volumes of Kinder-und Hausmarchen in 1812 and 1814. Its publication brought immediate and worldwide fame to the brothers Grimm and provided the foundation for their influential and groundbreaking studies in German philology and grammar PMM 281. The 1823 edition in English of German Popular Stories was the "first anywhere to be fully illustrated" as well as the first to truly target children Darton 216. Moreover the English translation by Edgar Taylor and his relatives "revolutionized the conventional English attitude to fairy tales and rehabilitated fantasy as generally acceptable reading-matter for the young. The Cruikshank illustrations which the Grimms themselves admired remain inextricably associated with the tales" and are considered among his best works Carpenter & Prichard 230. They have been called "the first real kindly agreeable and infinitely amusing and charming illustrations for a child's book in England" Charles Welsh. Among other famous Grimm tales these volumes contain "Rumpel-Stilts-Kin" "Snow-Drop" Snow White "Rose-Bud" Sleeping Beauty "Tom Thumb" "Hansel and Gretel" "The Golden Goose" "The Frog-Prince" and "Ashputtel" Cinderella.
