Grimm's Fairy Tales

Monday January 4, 2010
If you look on my January 2010 Calendar of Children's Books, you'll see that today is the 225th anniversary of the birthday of one of the brother Grimm - Jacob Grimm. Many of the most popular fairy tales of today developed centuries ago and evolved over time into stories for children. When I was a child I listened to Grimm's fairy tales with both horror and delight. When I began researching the subject, I was pleased to find some excellent online resources related to Grimm's fairy tales. These include information about the brothers Grimm and the stories they collected, as well as the text of about 90 of the fairy tales. What fairy tales do you still remember from your childhood?
