About this ebook
The Brothers Grimm
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born during the 1780s in Hanau, Germany, and studied law at Marburg university. After leaving education, they worked as diplomats and librarians in Kassel. In 1837 they were dismissed from their professorships at the University of Göttingen for refusing to swear allegiance to the new King of Hanover, but were later invited to join the Academy in Berlin, by Frederick William IV of Prussia, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Individually, and as a collaborative team, the brothers were two of the greatest scholars that Germany has produced. Aside from their folktales, they produced many different volumes of research, as well as anthologies of verse and song, and two of Germany's most important linguistic texts, the Deutsche Grammatik (German grammar) and the Deutsche Wörterbuch (German dictionary). Wilhelm died in 1859, at the age of 73, and Jacob died in 1863, at the age of 78.

Reviews for The Twelve Dancing Princesses

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is about 12 princesses who wear holes in their shoes, and so the father wanted to know why every morning their shoes had holes. So, he asked if any man could find the reason, he may have one of his daughters as a wife. This is a neat, large book that I think most girls will love.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This classic Grimm story tells of a solider who to wins a bride and a kingdom, endeavors to discover why the dancing shoes of the king's twelve daughters are worn to pieces every night. I enjoyed the illustrations of this story as the dresses introduced the German culture. I personally loved how the boats were shaped like shoes. I also enjoyed the mystery of this tale as the reader has to make predictions about the princesses. My reasoning for the rating of this book is the ending. I felt the ending was rather abrupt and didn't feel natural.
