The 1857 Grimm collection contained 200 numbered tales plus 10 “Children’s Legends.”
This was the seventh edition of the Brothers Grimm’s Kinder- und Hausmärchen, the form that became especially influential in later translations. The additional legends were placed after the main tales and numbered KHM 201 through KHM 210, bringing the complete numbered sequence to 210 entries.
The collection changed substantially over time. The first volume in 1812 contained 86 stories, while a second volume followed in 1815 with 70 more. Tales were added, removed, revised, and rearranged across later editions, so figures from different publication dates should not be blended together.
The most common mistake is answering 210, which is the total numbered sequence in the seventh edition rather than the number of “Children’s Legends.” Another source of confusion is that the legends are religious or devotional narratives, not simply another group of ordinary fairy tales.
