Similarities with Disney's B&TB

Was the original fairy tale of B&tB a Grimm story? Has anyone read the original tale? I am curious to discover if some of the similarities between Disney's interpretation and McKinley's are based on the original story or otherwise. (For example, Belle/Beauty likes to read in both; there is that little thing with the birds in both. Were these in the original?)
