"STRUCK"

"Then she looked at him so terribly that a shudder ran over him, and said, 'Go at once. . ."
― Jacob Grimm, Grimm's Fairy Tales

 This quote matches my exact reaction as I found out last night that one of my FHE brothers has never heard of the Grimm Brothers. I was shocked by this unpleasant news and could not believe that someone is so deprived. How is it that you could go through your entire life and not hear of the Grimm Brothers.

Before any more of you continue to be deprived, here is a list of some of the Original Grimm Brother Fairy Tales (of course they have way, way, way more):

  • The Bremen Town-Musicians 
  • Brother and Sister 
  • Cinderella 
  • The Frog King 
  • Hansel and Gretel 
  • Little Briar-Rose
  • Little Red-Cap 
  • Little Snow-White 
  • Mother Holle 
  • Rapunzel 
  • The Seven Ravens 
  • The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids 
Now if any of you have every watched Disney--surely you know of the Grimm Brothers. They are absolutely, positively my favorite!! In fact, I have done a lot of my research on them and written papers. This semester I am working on my Term Paper for my Rhetoric class. I will be looking a the effects of Grimm Fairy Tales on Society--Then and Now.

Before you become any more deprived--here is a fun little site you may go to and explore the world of Grimm!!! http://www.nationalgeographic.com/grimm/index2.html
