The Extraordinary Lives Of The Brothers Grimm – A Brothers Grimm Biography

1 hour 13 minutes

A long time in the making, we are delighted to present our super special biography of the Brothers Grimm! 

From humble beginnings to super professor stardom, we follow the brothers as they traipse across Germany in a tumultuous time of war and instability. Please don your history hats and settle by the fire as we embark on our biggest adventure yet, somehow starting in ancient Rome and landing squarely in 21st century.
