    Project Gutenberg, of course :)

    http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5314

    You can read online or download the e-book version.

    Edit: I have studied the "Household Stories from the collection of the Brothers Grimm", translated from German by Lucy Crane and illustrated by Walter Crane. It was recommended by my professor as being the most appropriate Grimm Bros book, since it also had the "raw" versions of the fairy tales. :)

    The book that is available on the Gutenberg site "includes all Grimm’s fairy tales and 10 children’s legends. The Margaret Hunt’s translation is very true to the German original."

    I checked a couple of fairy tales on there for some details and they match what I know from the other source.

    I know this is not online, but the best Grimm book is called "Grimm's Grimmest". They are the original stories they wrote. Not the watered down happy tales we have now.
