Jorinda and Jorindel

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

Jorinda and Jorindel is a fairy tale collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early 1800s. The brothers gathered folk stories from across Germany and published them for the world to enjoy. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story shows how love and courage can break even the darkest magic, and reminds young readers that some problems take patience and hope to solve.
