Frau Holle
AuthorJacob Grimm
ISBN3357000539
I guess this was kinda like a Cinderella story in a way. For instance the step-daughter is "THE CINDERELLA" because the make her work and the ugly daughter is doted on by the step-mother.

But that's the only part that is similar. Well, that and the pitch. There is pitch at the end.

The Frog King, or Iron Heinrich
AuthorJacob Grimm
Schroeder's illustrations are very painterly -- her buildings and landscapes remind me a bit of Chirico.

A mysterious and tragic fairytale. There is an undertone of misogyny, and probably we are meant to laugh that the young woman called Clever Elsie is anything but clever.
