degrimm1-10, Exercise 3: A five-event timeline

Model answer (one possible choice; check each date):

1. 1697: Perrault's tales appear in France. It shows that fairy tales were already a printed literary genre before the Grimms.
2. 1812 and 1815: the first edition of the Kinder- und Hausmaerchen. It marks the start of the collection as a scholarly work for adults.
3. 1825: the illustrated Small Edition. It shows the book reaching a wider and younger readership.
4. 1857: the seventh large edition. It shows the cumulative effect of Wilhelm's revision, so the best-known text is the late one.
5. 1937: Disney's Snow White. It shows the shift from text to film as the main way the tales are met.

Other defensible choices include 1837 (the Goettingen Seven), 1961 (the completed dictionary) or the Nazi-period use of the book. The point is to give a reason for each pick, not to match a single correct list.
