Grimm's Fairy Tales were introduced to China in 1915 and have been deeply loved by readers, especially children. To date, over forty or fifty translations of Grimm's Fairy Tales have been published in mainland China. Grimm's Fairy Tales established the captivating "Grimm-style" narrative in folk tales, exerting a far-reaching influence on world children's literature since the 19th century.
