Week 13, Reading Dairy: Brothers Grimm (Hunt)

Story source:  Household Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm



Hansel and Grethel - This is the tale of Hansel and Gretel that I remember I hearing as a child. I have always enjoyed this tale.

Thumbling - This was an interesting story. I like how the little boy tricked the men who bought him from his father and escaped. He was very smart and went through a lot in order to get back home to his parents.

Allerleirauh - Wasn't sure what to think of this story. The girl went out of her way to avoid marrying her father. But after living as a kitchen maid for a while, she made a point of letting the king, her father, know who she was, and ended up marrying him anyway. Not sure what made her change her mind unless it was just that she didn't want to live in hiding as a kitchen maid any longer.
