About Grimms' Fairy Tales

Although Grimm's fairy tales are among the best-known works of German literature, the original texts of the fairy tales are unknown to most readers, thanks to Disney. Some common misconceptions: Grimm's fairy tales by no means always begin with "Once upon a time." Many commonly known paragraphs have a different version in the original text than is commonly believed. The witch's house in Hansel and Gretel is not made of gingerbread, but of bread, cake and sugar. Sleeping Beauty stabs herself not on a rose, but on a spindle; Cinderella goes to the ball with different dresses, but receives them not from a fairy, but from a tree on her mother's grave. The Frog Prince turns back into a human, not after being kissed, but after being thrown against the wall in disgust. Gröls Classics - English Edition
