Wikipedia Trail: From Rapunzel to Seven Dwarfs

I found myself fascinated with reading Rapunzel story. It was an amazing story and truly creative. I liked how the long hair could create such creative story like Rapunzel.


1. Rapunzel: Rapunzel is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm. The Grimm Brothers' story is an adaptation of the fairy tale Rapunzel by Friedrich Schulz published in 1790. Its plot has been used and parodied in various media and its best known line ("Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair") is an idiom of popular culture.


2. Brothers Grimm: The two German brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, were German academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together collected and published folklore during the 19th century. They were among the first and best-known collectors of folk tales, and popularized traditional oral tale types such as "Cinderella" ("Aschenputtel"), "The Frog Prince" ("Der Froschkönig"), "The Goose-Girl" ("Die Gänsemagd"), "Hansel and Gretel" ("Hänsel und Gretel"), "Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin" ("Rumpelstilzchen"), "Sleeping Beauty" ("Dornröschen"), and "Snow White" ("Schneewittchen").

3. Snow White: "Snow White" is a 19th-century German fairy tale which is today known widely across the Western world. The fairy tale features such elements as the magic mirror, the poisoned apple, the glass coffin, and the characters of the evil queen and the Seven Dwarfs. The story begins with the queen (Snow White's mother) asking, "How I wish that I had a daughter that had skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony."


4. Seven Dwarfs: The Seven Dwarfs are a group of seven dwarfs that appear in the fairy tale Snow White and others. The Seven Dwarfs are a group of seven dwarfs that live in a tiny cottage and work in the nearby mines. Snow White happens upon their house after being told by the Huntsman to flee from the Queen's kingdom.
