GERMANY ~ The Brave Little Tailor Fairy Tail ~

... Lovely postcard showing a beautiful illustration of a fairy tale by the famous Brothers Grimm... they are among the best-known storytellers... with matching stamp and wonderful special postmark👍... this folktale really is what you expect from the Brothers Grimm... a smart, but wicked character, who cheats their way to fame, or fortune, or both, and a wicked plot to get rid of them... a simple tailor becomes king through a cleverness and more than a few misunderstandings.... curious about the rest of the tale??? you can read it "HERE"  Thanks a lot Dustin !!【ツ】



The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859), were German scholars, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together collected and published folk stories.


This simple tale has managed to inspire dozens of creative minds to create their own adaptations or to take elements of the story and make it their own. Some of the names intrigued and inspired by this German folk tale was Walt Disney.

 Mickey Mouse appeared in a 1938 Disney short cartoon, Brave Little Tailor, based on this tale.
