Jacob Grimm

Once Upon a Fairy Tale Jacob Grimm

The author explores and comments the fairy tales Little Red Cap (aka Little Red Riding Hood), Mary's Child, Briar Rose and The Handless Maiden. The worldwide popularity of Walt Disney's film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs compelled the author to write about the true meaning of fairy tales.

The examples given in these fairy tales may arouse devotion for the greatness of their content
