The Frog-Prince

A fairy tale retold from Grimms' Fairy Tales, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This story is from Grimms' Fairy Tales, collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm and first published in the early nineteenth century. It reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The tale teaches that keeping a promise matters, even when it is hard. The frog's patience and the princess's reluctant obedience break a cruel enchantment. Fairy tales like this one help children explore right action, consequence, and the rewards of keeping one's word.
