Download or read book The Frog King Or Iron Heinrich (Illustrated) written by Brothers Grimm and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rare edition with unique illustrations. When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all. A delight to read, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents these peerless stories to a whole new generation of readers. "The Frog Prince; or, Iron Henry" is a fairy tale, best known through the Brothers Grimm's written version.In the tale, a spoiled princess reluctantly befriends the Frog Prince (meeting him after dropping a gold ball into a pond), who magically transforms into a handsome prince. Although in modern versions the transformation is invariably triggered by the princess kissing the frog, in the original Grimm version of the story the frog's spell was broken when the princess threw it against a wall in disgust.
