Perhaps more than anything else, this respect for children’s inherent intelligence and their ability to sit with difficult emotions is what makes the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm so enduringly enchanting. In their original conception, they broke with convention in other ways as well — rather than moralistic or didactic, they were beautifully blunt and unaffected, celebratory of poetry’s ennobling effect on the spirit. The brothers wrote in the preface to the first edition in 1812 that the storytelling between the covers was intended “to give pleasure to anyone who could take pleasure in it.”

I think my main comment for each of these stories are that many of these young women (except for Cinderella) do not seem that intelligent. Another favourite, this was a good tale about family and going to all lengths to protect each other. Loved it

I only wish that the story continued on and see if he saved the rest of the seven thousand.Wow what a weird but funny tale! It reminded a lot of The Mouse, the Bird and the Sausage but at less this one was a lot more funnier to read! I shall be updating this as I read each story. I’ll give their individual star rating and a small review.

if you rescue someone (a fair maden, of course) from the bottom of the well while your companions are above ground, always put something else in the basket to replace your weight, because they will drop you and try to kill you.

Tolkien asserted that there is no such thing as writing “for children.” The sentiment has since been echoed by generations of beloved storytellers: “Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time,” E.B. White told The Paris Review. “You have to write up, not down.” Neil Gaiman argued that protecting children from the dark does them a grave disservice. “I don’t write for children,” Maurice Sendak told Stephen Colbert in his final interview. “I write — and somebody says, ‘That’s for children!’” Gretel.’‘What did you take her?’‘Took nothing, she gave me something.’‘What did Gretel give you?’‘She gave me a goat.’‘Where is the goat, For “The Lady and Lion”, the first part resembled what I had read and watched when it comes to the “Beauty and the Beast” story, but the later part was heading in a totally different direction, which was so cool. For “Hansel and Grettel”, I felt like the story “Roland and May-Bird” may better resemble the popular version of “Hansel and Grettel” that we all know (two kids got abandoned in the woods by their parents, they later found a house made of sweets that belonged to a witch).if you kill a dragon, giant or other fearsome creature, always cut out the tongue and hang onto in case you are betrayed by someone who claims to have killed the beast himself (when confronted, the deceiver will always claim that the beast had no tongue, but no one will believe him) Kinder-und Hausmärchen” is a key German contribution to world literature. It comprises about 250 traditional tales, which were collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, and first published in 1812, with a second volume dated 1815.
