Final Jeopardy Answer
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Grimm’s Fairy Tales
Final Jeopardy Explanation
The anthology referred to is “Children’s and Household Tales,” more commonly known as “Grimm’s Fairy Tales.” This collection was first published in 1812 by the Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, who were German academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers, and authors. They collected and published folklore during the 19th century as part of a growing interest in culturally specific literature throughout Europe. “The Water Nymph” and “The Booted Tom Cat” are among the many stories included in this collection, which aimed to preserve German folk tales and present them both as stories for children and as a part of the academic study of folklore. The collection has been immensely influential, shaping the way folk stories are perceived and told in Western culture, making it a seminal piece of literary and cultural history.
