The Frog Prince

A fairy tale from Household Stories by the Brothers Grimm, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This story comes from the Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, who collected folk tales in Germany in the early 1800s. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The tale teaches that promises matter, even when keeping them is hard. At the heart of the story is a surprising transformation and the lesson that kindness—or even anger—can sometimes break a spell.
