Author Biography
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born in 1785 and 1786 near Frankfurt, Germany. In their early twenties, they began the linguistic studies that would culminate in their collected editions of folk- and fairy tales. They got their stories from peasants and villagers, and sometimes from already-published works from other cultures. Jacob did much of the research; Wilhelm put the stories into literary form. Bernadette Watts has illustrated many well-reviewed books for children. She illustrates classic fairy tales, such as 'The Three Little Pigs', and writes original stories, including 'Will You Be My Friend'. Watts created her first picture book under the influence of Beatrix Potter and studied at the Maidstone Art School in Kent, UK.
