In 1808, their friend, the romantic poet Clemens
Brentano, asked them to collect all types of folk tales so
he could use them in a book of literary fairy tales. In
1810, they sent him fifty-four texts, which they
fortunately copied. Fortunately, because Brentano then
lost the manuscript in the Ölenberg Monastery in Alsace
and never used the Grimms' texts. When they realized
that Brentano was not going to use the tales, they
decided, upon the advice of another romantic writer and
mutual friend, Achim von Arnim, to publish their
collection. It had grown to eighty-six tales, which they
published in 1812, and then another seventy, which they
published in 1815
