Here are the tales that are so familiar to children - Little Red Cap (Riding Hood), Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty), Hansel and Gretel, etc., as well as lesser-known tales of magic and myth, collected and recorded by the brothers Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. These are not the “cleaned up” versions told by Walt Disney but rather the original folk stories, full of wonder and whimsy as well as the cruelty, violence and justice that helps define a rich moral landscape and teach life lessons pleasurably.
