Briar Rose – Fairy Tale by The Brothers Grimm Story level 2 Audiobook with subtitle The Brothers Grimm included a variant of Sleeping Beauty, Little Briar Rose, in their collection (1812). Their version ends when the prince arrives to wake Sleeping Beauty (named Rosamund) and does not include the part two as found in Basile’s and Perrault’s versions. The brothers considered rejecting the story on the grounds that it was derived from Perrault’s version, but the presence of the Brynhild tale convinced them to include it as an authentically German tale. Their decision was notable because in none of the Teutonic myths, meaning the Poetic and Prose Eddas or Volsunga Saga, are their sleepers awakened with a kiss, a fact Jacob Grimm would have known since he wrote an encyclopedic volume on German mythology. His version is the only known German variant of the tale, and Perrault’s influence is almost certain. ——————————————————– Join this channel to get access to exclusive member-only videos (without Ads): https://www.youtube.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrtPxFge-clHUejWD82y_lg/join​ YT Channel: https://www.youtube.comhttps://youtube.com/c/EnjoyEnglish​ ————————————— https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/enjoyenglish​ https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/brothersgrimm​ https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/briarrose​ ——————— You can download the text scripts (PDF, EPUB) of the stories here: https://englishonline.vn​
