In doing so, they popularised some of today’s most enduring fairy tales, including \u003cem\u003eCinderella\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHansel and Gretel\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSleeping Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The Frog Prince; or Iron Henry”\u003c\/em\u003e was the first story in the 1812 edition of \u003cem\u003eGrimms’ Fairy Tales (Kinder- und Hausmärchen)\u003c\/em\u003e. It tells of a spoiled princess who reluctantly befriends a frog who, unbeknownst to her, is actually a prince under a sorcerer’s spell. In the original tale, the curse is lifted when the princess throws the frog against a brick wall in anger, but in later years the Brothers Grimm sanitised the story, turning it into the version we know today. This classic tale was considered by the brothers to be the oldest and most beautiful of the stories they collected in German-speaking regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Brothers Grimm set standards for research and analysis of stories and legends that made them pioneers in the field of folklore in the 19th century. During this time their collection of tales maintained its status as second only to the Bible as the most popular book in Germany. So profound was their legacy that it extended to form much of the foundation of Disney animated movies, as well as many other Hollywood films we know and love today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are honoured to reproduce this manuscript from the Bodmer Foundation, a library and museum specialising in manuscripts and precious editions, as the first release in our Fairy Tale Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handwritten draft of the Brothers Grimm’s “The Frog Prince”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1812\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 × 185 × 1 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Brothers Grimm, Frog Prince\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fairy Tale Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-sided design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative printed paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextured printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubtle Paperblanks branding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e PA9841-6 | \u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781439798416\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Paperblanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperblanks works with museums, libraries, galleries and artists around the world to faithfully reproduce remarkable artwork, historic bindings and treasured manuscripts, bringing the same care and craftsmanship found in its celebrated journals to every accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperblanks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54386162270536,"sku":"PA9841-6","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5114\/5032\/files\/9781439798416_Front_HighRes.png?v=1792779239","url":"https:\/\/shop.penandpaper.co.uk\/products\/paperblanks-the-brothers-grimm-frog-prince-bookmark-pa9841-6","provider":"The Pen and Paper Stationery Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
