Tale Summary

There once was a young girl who lived in a pretty cottage at the edge of the forest with her father, a woodsman, and her mother, who stayed at home and tended to the cow and the food. On the other side of the wood was another pretty cottage, where the girl’s grandmother lived; she gave her granddaughter many gifts, including a little red hood, which is how the girl came to be known as Little Red Riding Hood. One day after breakfast, Little Red’s mother gave her a basket holding a cake, butter, and six eggs which the girl had found that morning, and instructed her to bring it to her grandmother, who had been ill. She advised her not to run, as she would break the eggs, but that she also must not loiter. There were many things to listen to and see in the woods, and Little Red decides to wander from the path to pick some wildflowers for her grandmother. When a wolf greets her, she is naively unafraid, and answers straightaway where she is headed towards. The wolf hurries onwards to the grandmother’s house, where he gobbles her up whole, and settles into bed to wait for the girl. When Little Red arrives, she remarks what big ears, eyes, nose, and teeth her grandmother has, not realizing it is a trick. The wolf lunges to eat her just like her grandmother, but at that moment, the girl’s father comes through the door with his axe and saves her by chopping off the creature’s head. Little red returns to her cottage and lives happily ever after with her parents.

Tale Notes

This story is more detailed than other versions and describes more of Little Red's background. It is also different in that her father is the woodsman when in other tellings, her father is not present, and the woodsman is a stranger. When he kills the wolf, also, he does not save the grandmother, as in other versions, and Little Red is saved before she is eaten.

Tale Summary

A miller with a very beautiful daughter is summoned to see the king and tried to alleviate himself of the unease of never being at court before by saying that she could spin straw into gold. The king is intrigued and has her sent for, and she arrives the next day. He locks her in a room filled with straw and commands her to either spin it all into gold before morning or die. The girl weeps because she does not know how, when a strange-looking little man appears, and asks why she cries. When she explains her predicament, he offers to do the impossible task for her, at a price. She gives him her necklace, and by morning, all of the straw has been spun into gold. The king, even greedier now that he sees it, locks her in an even larger room full of straw, and commands, as before, that it be spun into gold by the next day. Again, the little man appears to the miller’s daughter and spins it in exchange for her ring. The king once more demands the same task of the girl but promises she will be Queen if she succeeds. When the little man appears, the girl says she has nothing left to offer. He asks for her firstborn child if ever she is to become Queen, and she agrees. After the king sees the room full of gold which the little man has spun, she does become Queen, and a year later she has forgotten her promise and has a child. The little man arrives and demands what he is owed, but the Queen is so pitiful, that he gives her three days to guess his name, and if she does so, she will be allowed to keep her child. On the first day, the Queen lists off every name she can think of. With the help of a messenger, the second day is spent guessing the most unusual names in the land. On the third day, the messenger comes back and says that, on the edge of the forest by a mountain, a strange little man was dancing on one foot in front of a fire, and that in his song he hears his name is ‘Rumpelstiltskin”. The Queen guesses this name, and the little man is so furious that he stomps hard enough on the ground that his right foot becomes stuck, and then comes off when he pulls on his left one. The Queen keeps her child, and Rumpelstiltskin is not heard from again.

Tale Notes

In this version of the tale, there is an emphasis on descriptions of clothing. When the Miller’s daughter/Queen is brought before the king, she wears a satin skirt of old gold, and a red velvet bodice. When Rumplestiltskin is introduced, he is wearing a coat and loose trousers made of white cotton with large red spots, a red and white hat with a cock’s feather, and in his hand, he holds a wand.

The song that the messenger hears as Rumplestiltskin dances around the fire is this:

"Although to-day I brew and bake,
To-morrow the Queen’s own child I take.
So nobody tell, for goodness’ sake,
That my name is Rumpelstiltskin"

Tale Summary

A rich merchant has three beautiful daughters, the youngest of which is kind and caring, while the older two are vain. He comes home one day with the news that they’re no longer rich and must move to a small village. The youngest daughter, Beauty, is excited for their new life and continues to do all of the housework cheerfully, while the older sisters complain about the change in status. The merchant notifies the daughters he has to go on a business trip to a nearby town and asks them what they would like him to bring back as gifts. The oldest daughters want diamonds and pearls, while Beauty asks for white roses. While on his way home from doing business, the merchant gets lost in the dark and ends up in a palace with no one in it. He finds food prepared on the table, eats it since no one is around, and then goes to bed. When he awakes, he finds a nice embroidered suit, puts it on, and then finds breakfast prepared and eats that. On his way to the stable to see his horse he finds a rose bush and started gathering white roses for Beauty, when he was approached by a beast. The beast is outraged that after feeding him and setting out a nice suit for him, the merchant decided to steal his roses. In exchange for not killing the merchant, the beast demands that in a month he bring back to the palace the first thing he sees when he arrives home. Upon his return, to the merchant’s dread, Beauty is the first thing he sees when he arrives. After the merchant told her about the deal, Beauty is set on him upholding it and, after a month, goes to the palace with her father. The beast assures the merchant that Beauty will be safe with him and sends the merchant back to his village the next morning. While crying about saying goodbye to her father, Beauty finds a mirror with a comforting message written in gold, “Little Beauty, dry your eyes, Needless are those tears and sighs; Gazing in this looking-glass, What you wish shall come to pass.” Beauty spent the following days entertaining herself by painting, playing, and gathering flowers during the day, and then at night the beast would come into her room and they would chat. One day during their chat, the beast asked Beauty if she would marry him, but she quickly turned him down because he’s a beast. The next day, while looking at her engraved mirror, Beauty wished she could see her father. In the mirror then appeared an image of her father alone and ill in bed. This broke Beauty’s heart, and she became very sad. The beast then let her return home to see her father with the expectation that she would return in a week and signal when she was ready by placing a ring on her table before bed. After spending a week at home taking care of her father, Beauty couldn’t get herself to leave just yet and spent another couple days at home. One night, she had a dream that the beast was lying in his garden saying he would die without her. This caused her to worry and she placed the ring on her table, then the next morning awoke in her room at the beast’s palace. She waited for the beast to come in and chat with her, but he never showed, so she went to the garden to see if her dream had been true. Sure enough, the beast was lying in the garden near death. At the sight of this, Beauty agrees to marry the beast. He then turns into a handsome prince and informs Beauty that a fairy had enchanted him to be a beast until a beautiful woman would agree to marry him. They get married with the company of Beauty’s father, and the sisters are turned into statues. They live happily ever after.

Tale Notes

The illustration in this version is very colorful and intricate, almost dream-like, and gives a detailed image of Beauty and the beast once he is a prince. This illustration is at the end of the story, however, allowing the reader to form their own mental images of the characters first. Additionally, this version deals with class and gender roles. The merchant starts out rich, but loses his money, which causes the story to unfold. There is no mention of regaining wealth, however they do end up with the prince at his palace, so it is implied. Throughout the story, Beauty displays what may be a message to women about their role in society and what they have to do to be proper ladies. Beauty is constantly doing housework and taking care of her father without complaint, and eventually agrees to marry a beast. She is rewarded for these actions by the beast turning into a handsome prince, her prideful sisters being enchanted, and her father being able to live with her in the palace.

Tale Summary

The narrator begins by stating that Cinderella’s real name was unknown, she only became Cinderella after her father remarried. Cinderella was the family’s maid, working from morning to night for her stepmother and stepsisters. On the night of the prince’s ball, she is terribly sad because she cannot attend. Her stepsisters laugh at the thought of her even going since she is only wearing rags. While crying, her fairy godmother magically appears and dresses her in fine clothing and makes a carriage, horses, and driver from a pumpkin, mice and a lizard. Cinderella attends the prince’s ball and dances with the prince. She returns to the second ball, where she dances with him the whole evening. At midnight, her clothes become rags once again, so each night she must flee the ball before the transformation occurs. The prince finds her glass slipper and has his herald find her by letting every woman in the kingdom try on the glass shoe. Once the herald finds Cinderella, she and the Prince are married and live happily ever after.

Tale Notes

In this version of Cinderella based on Charles Perrault’s tale, her fairy godmother used magic to transform pumpkin and animals (mice, rats, lizards) into a carriage and servants to take Cinderella to the ball to meet the Prince. Her stepsisters were cruel to her, but once they found out she was the beautiful girl at the ball with the Prince, they begged for her forgiveness. There is one color illustration for this tale that depicts Cinderella coming out of her carriage at the prince’s ball.

Tale Summary

This classic tale of Sleeping Beauty follows the story of a young princess whose seven fairy godmothers, gifted her beauty, good thoughts, kindness, the ability to dance like a fairy, sing like a nightingale, and play the harp. However, one wicked old fairy unwelcomingly granted that the child, at the age of 15, would prick her finger on a spindle and fall into a sleep. One of the fairies who had not yet given her gift, granted that the princess would not die but fall into a 100 year sleep. The girl grew up and possessed all the gifts. Eventually, she stumbled upon a spindle, pricked her finger, and she, along with her entire castle and everything inside and out, fell into a sleep. After 100 years, and the son of the new King finds the castle and makes his way up to the chamber in the turret where the Princess lies. As a wise old man said legend had it that she may only be woken by the Prince who will marry her, the young Prince kissed the Princess and she awoke immediately. The rest of the castle and people are restored and the two fall in love. Very soon after, they were married and lived happily ever after.

Tale Summary

There once was a man who was incredibly rich, far richer than any other. He had a downfall in his appearance: a blue beard that no women liked to look at. He wished to marry one of two daughters, and since they both did not want to marry him, he devised a plan to invite them to his country house with their mother. He then marries the younger daughter Fatima. Bluebeard leaves one day and warns Fatima not to enter a certain room, for a punishment awaits her if she does. She enters the door and finds the dead bodies of all of Bluebeard’s past wives. Bluebeard finds out that she had entered this room and states that he will kill her, and she will join his past wives. Before he has a chance to kill her, Fatima’s two brothers enter and kill bluebeard. Fatima remarries and gives bluebeard's riches to others and she lives happily ever after.

Tale Notes

The maiden in this tale triumphs over her oppressor with her brothers’ help and lives a long happy life. Although this is a children’s book, the author has included the gory scene in which Fatima, Bluebeard’s wife, discovers the severed heads of her husband’s former wives when she unlocks the room he has forbidden her to visit. There is one color illustration that depicts Fatima calling to her sister Anne to ask if their brothers are on the way to save her.
