Following in their father's footsteps, they studied law at the University of Marburg. Between 1812 and 1822, the Brothers Grimm published the Children's and Household Tales, a collection of stories collected from different traditions often known as The Brothers Grimm Tales. After that time, they followed separate paths, Wilhelm Grimm focused on the study of medieval tradition, while Jacob Grimm turned to philology with a very important work on the history of the language.
