Studying the Grimm Brothers


 The Grimm brothers for the most part didn’t invent the stories of Grimms’ Fairy Tales, they listened to the local legends of fairies and dwarfs, princesses and witches and wrote them down in the stories we know today, set in the real villages along their travels. This region of German is probably much less traveled by those from outside the country than more familiar touring destinations.   We hope to soak in the legend and lore of the countryside and bring back the inspiration to support our students in writing down their own family tales.  It is exciting to continue our preparations as we get closer to actually exploring the Grimm brothers' lives!
