    About this audiobook

    “Faithful John” is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, tale number 6.

Instantly, he falls in love with the princess. In Joseph Jacobs's version, her country had been at war with his, and the portrait stems from betrothal negotiations that had fallen through; but in all versions, the king does not know how to win her.
