This is a richly detailed, beautifully designed biography. Known today primarily as collectors of German fairy tales, the brothers had wide-ranging intellectual and political interests. Not only does the book provide a realistic look at their lives and times, it also shows the brothers as real people. Drawings accompany the text, most of them probably done by younger brother Ludwig. A complete listing of the collected tales and a time line are helpful. Bib., ind.
