All in The Brothers Grimm
This week we return to The Brothers Grimm with the harrowing tale of the making (and keeping) of a King.
Today our young protagonist will spend the first of three nights in the haunted castle and experience some - interesting - ghosts.
'Jorinda and Jorindel' is one of those fairytales that I'm quite honestly surprised that I haven't read before. True love, a wicked fairy and a magic flower - what's not to love?
One of my favorite fairytales (and one of the very first I read way back in 2016) 'Hans in Luck' is the story of a man who gradually loses everything, but still praises his "good luck".
'The Golden Bird' is a classic tale from the Brothers Grimm about a boy who just won't listen to the good advice from an enchanted fox, until he really has no choice.
Yes, I've told the Brothers Grimm tale of 'The Golden Goose' before, but it's been years and this is a slightly different version that I enjoy much more. I hope you feel the same!

In the Brothers Grimm tale of 'The Turnip' the pair perfectly encapsulates the brother dynamic and has simply the most delicious twist I've come across ever.
