The stories the brothers Grimm collected in Germany and first published in 1812: Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, the Frog Prince, the Elves and the Shoemaker, the Twelve Dancing Princesses and dozens more, many darker and stranger than their later versions. Each tale is a few minutes long, good for bedtime or a short walk.
