Once upon a time – 200 years ago, to be exact – across a great sea, near a deep woods, there were two brothers named Grimm who collected stories. They were hearth and fireplace tales, kitchen and lamplight tales, of swans and wolves, of magic spells and little men in the woods, of a frog prince, a sleeping beauty, a brave little tailor.
And lots and lots of chopping and killing and ravaging and rebirth. Gripping, gruesome, deep-rooted folk stories called fairy tales. With very few fairies.
This hour, On Point: looking again at the Brothers Grimm and the tales they shared. Fairy tales.
