Zauberhafte Märchen für alle Mädchen, die von mutigen Prinzessinnen träumen.Wilhelm und Jacob Grimm, auch bekannt als die Brüder Grimm, gelten als Gründungsväter der Germanistik. Als Sprachwissenschaftler und Volkskundler begründeten sie die wohl größte deutschsprachige Märchensammlung, indem sie alte, meist mündlich überlieferte Erzählungen und Geschichten zusammentrugen und überarbeiteten. Gleichzeitig begründeten sie damit die Märchenkunde als Wissenschaft. Zu ihrem Lebenswerk zählte des Weiteren die Erforschung der Wurzeln der deutschen Sprache. Das "Grimm'sche Wörterbuch" ist bis heute ein Standardwerk in der Germanistik. Die Brüder verbrachten ihr Leben gemeinsam, bis Wilhelm Grimm 1859 vier Jahre vor seinem Bruder Jacob verstarb.

"Der kleine Häwelmann" ist ein bekanntes deutsches Kindermärchen, welches bei der Zu-Bett-geh-Zeit erzählt wird. Der kleine Junge in der Geschichte, der Häwelmann kann einfach nicht einschlafen. Seine Mutter schiebt ihn schlaftrunken in seinem Rollbrettchen hin und her, doch bald schläft sie selbst tief und fest. Nur der kleine Häwlmann ist noch wach. Der Mond beobachtet den Jungen dabei, wie dieser sich sein Segel aus seinem Nachthemd bastelt und damit dreimal durchs Zimmer fährt. Dann fragt der Mond ihn, ob er denn noch nicht genug habe, aber der kleine Häwelmann will mehr. Und so beginnt seine Reise durch die Nacht.Theodor Storm gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter des bürgerlichen Realismus. Der Schriftsteller sah sich selbst in erster Linie als Lyriker, ist jedoch hauptsächlich für seine Novellen bekannt. Er nutzte Elemente des Volksglaubens und verwandelte diese in Geschichten. Später widmete er sich mehr religions- und sozialkritischen Texten und kritisierte den Adel und die Beamtenhierarchie.
