The Frog-Prince

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

This story comes from Grimms' Fairy Tales, collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early nineteenth century. The Grimm brothers gathered folk tales from across Germany and published them for families to enjoy. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The Frog-Prince teaches young readers about keeping promises, even when it is hard to do. The princess learns that her word matters, and her faithfulness breaks a cruel spell. It is one of the most-loved fairy tales in the world.
