The Seven Ravens

From Grimms' Fairy Tales, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This reader is a retelling of 'The Seven Ravens,' a tale from the Grimms' collection first published in Germany in the early 1800s. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story shows a sister's courage and the power of love to break a curse. It reminds us that determination and sacrifice can bring families back together, even when all seems lost.
