Synopsis

The folk tales collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm conjure up a world of spells and bewitchment, outwitted villains and cruel stepmothers, animal bridegrooms and enchanted princesses. Stories such as Hansel and Gretel and The Robber Bridegroom depict the dangers lurking in dark forests, and others, including Briar-Rose and Snowwhite , show young beauties punished by unforgiving sorceresses. The Frog King tells of a rash promise made by a haughty princess, a fortune is won by a soldier in The Blue Lamp , while in Thickasathumb a childless couple's wish for a baby is granted with unexpected results.
