They are credited with popularizing such classic fairy tales as Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Charles Perrault was a 17th-century French author noted for his numerous children's stories, many of which have been made into operas, ballets, plays, musicals, and films. Ludwig Tieck was a German poet, translator, editor, novelist, and critic who was one of the founding fathers of the Romantic movement of the late 18th- and early 19th-centuries.
