Book summary

This collection brings together forty tales gathered by the Brothers Grimm: Snow White and the queen's magic mirror, Hansel and Gretel lost in the forest, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and lesser-known ones such as “The Blue Light”. Here we meet witches, talking animals and clever young heroes.

These are the tales children have been told for two centuries, here in the text of the Grimms' last edition, from 1857, which is often darker than the versions we know.

Short and simply written, they can be read one by one in the language you are learning.

The plot

青蛙与金球。一位公主在井边玩她的金球。球掉进水里,水深得看不见底。一只青蛙愿意把球捞上来,条件是公主答应让它做朋友,同桌吃饭,同床睡觉。

The world of the book

森林、城堡与磨坊。这些故事来自德国。故事里有国王和穷樵夫,有磨坊主和士兵。森林里,狼会和小女孩说话,女巫住在面包和蛋糕搭成的房子里,七个小矮人住在七座山的后面。常常是最穷或最小的那个人赢了,靠的是机灵或一颗善良的心。
