Reading Notes A: Fairy Tales By Brothers Grimm

Bibliography: Fairy Tales by Brothers Grimm
Read the story (or listen) here

The Frog Prince
-interesting because of the description of the princess: "put on her bonnet and clogs"
-golden ball
-"I want not your pearls, and jewels, and fine clothes, but if you will love me and let em live with you and eat off of your golden plate, and sleep upon your bed, I will bring you your ball again"
-blackmailed by a frog?
-Open the door, my princess dear,
Open the door to thy true love here!
And mind the words that thou and I said
By the fountain cool, in the greenwood shade

The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean 
The Mouse, the Bird, and The Sausage
-interesting because not happy endings
-lists as titles?

Why are some so much more common than others?

Selected because of the imagery
