The Frog-Prince

From Grimms' Fairy Tales, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This reader is drawn from Grimms' Fairy Tales, a collection of German folk tales gathered by brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early nineteenth century. The Grimms travelled through villages recording the stories that families had told for generations, preserving a rich tradition of European folklore. 'The Frog-Prince' is one of their most beloved tales, teaching the importance of keeping one's word even when it is inconvenient. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story rewards a reader who notices how promises shape lives and how kindness can transform a situation that seems unbearable at first.
