I love the old real fairy tales. Thank you for sharing these with us. I have a book of the Grim brothers and wow do they live up to the name. By the way, I have always wanted a fair Godmother;) Nice list Heidi. I love the old real fairy tales. Thank you for sharing these with us.

I love these tales but can never remember the names without engaging in some research first. What's funny about the Russian Frog Princess is that had the Disney writers been aware of this tale they may have made some changes to The Princess and the Frog... ;) Someone should release a lovely illustrated collection of these old tales/variants in comparison to the newer, better known ones (hint, hint everyone). Fairy tale collections given to kids can't be beat. (Thank you, whoever it was who introduced me to the Andrew Lang fairy books!) And thank you Heidi for helping keep these tales readily accessible to anyone interested. SurLaLune is awesome. Great picks Heidi!
