classics at any time with our short 10 -20 minute episodes.

Grimm’s Fairy Tales comprises some 200 stories, most of which were adopted from oral sources. The best-known tales include “Hansel and Gretel,” “Snow White,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Tom Thumb,” “Rapunzel,” “The Golden Goose,” and “Rumpelstiltskin.” The universal appeal of these stories—whether they are considered as psychological archetypes or as fantasy narratives—inspired a myriad of print, theatrical, operatic, balletic, and cinematic adaptations.
