The Brothers Grimm were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, and authors. They are among the most well-known storytellers of European folk tales, and their work popularized such stories as “Cinderella,” “The Frog Prince,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “Rapunzel,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” and “Snow White.” Their first collection of folk tales, Children’s and Household Tales, was published in 1812. The popularity of the Grimms’ collected folk tales has endured well beyond their lifetimes. The tales are available in hundreds of translations and have been made into popular Disney films, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella.
LibraryCall is a small team of children’s librarians, storytellers, writers, audio editors, and translators. Founded in 2020 by Lori Ayre, this diverse team is driven by a deep appreciation for the power and importance of storytelling. LibraryCall creates modern renditions of classic children’s stories and fairy tales, adapts stories from various oral traditions, and even writes new stories. Their hope is that their varied and inclusive catalog will inspire the next generation to explore the world, appreciate the cultures around them, and perhaps even become storytellers themselves.
