Jorinda and Jorindel

From Grimms' Fairy Tales, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This story comes from the collection of fairy tales gathered by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in nineteenth-century Germany. The Grimms collected traditional tales told across villages and published them so they would not be lost. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. "Jorinda and Jorindel" is a tale of enchantment, courage, and the power of love to overcome dark magic. It shows a hero who refuses to give up, even when all seems lost, and reminds us that hope and persistence can break even the cruelest spell.
