Ferdinand Philipp Grimm (1788-1845) was one of the lesser-known Grimm brothers, who was occasionally enlisted by Jacob and Wilhelm to assist in collecting folk stories and other errands relating to their own literary works, the most famous of which is Kinder- und Hausmärchen, known to us as Grimm's Fairy Tales.
