Introduction to Die Gebrűder Grimm - 200th Anniversary Tribute for “Kinder- und Hausmärchen” by "Lx Magazine: Illuminating Luxury" - (fairy tale text is also as posted by Lx)
As a brisk, chill wind gusts and snowflakes fall to form drifty peaks this winter, you may want to snuggle up with your loved ones by the warm glow of a fire and tell a story. This year celebrates the 200th anniversary of The Brothers Grimm (German: Die Gebrűder Grimm) fairy tales. To celebrate, we have collected images and artwork from amazing talent, paired with translated excerpts from the original book, “Kinder- und Hausmärchen” (Children’s and Household Tales) to inspire you as you orate about magical characters from far away lands, scary villains and princes and princesses that fell in love and lived happily ever after.

Aschenputtel - Cinderella
“The king’s son, who was waiting for her, took her by the hand and
danced with her; and, when any one asked her to dance, he said as
before, “This lady is dancing with me.” When night came she wanted to go
home; and the king’s son went with her, but she sprang away from him
all at once into the garden behind her father’s house. In this garden
stood a fine large pear-tree; and Cinderella jumped up into it without
being seen. Then the king’s son waited till her father came home, and
said to him, “The unknown lady has slipped away, and I think she must
have sprung into the pear-tree.” The father ordered an axe to be
brought, and they cut down the tree, but found no one upon it. And when
they came back into the kitchen, there lay Cinderella in the ashes as
usual; for she had slipped down on the other side of the tree, and
carried her beautiful clothes back to the bird at the hazel-tree, and
then put on her little old frock.
The third day, when her father and mother and sisters were gone, she went again into the garden, and said—”Shake, shake, hazel-tree, gold and silver over me!” Then her kind friend the bird brought a dress still finer than the former one, and slippers which were all of gold; and the king’s son danced with her alone, and when any one else asked her to dance, he said, “This lady is my partner.” Now when night came she wanted to go home; and the king’s son would go with her, but she managed to slip away from him, though in such a hurry that she dropped her left golden slipper upon the stairs.
So the prince took the shoe, and went the next day to the king, his father, and said, ‘I will take for my wife the lady that this golden shoe fits.’ ”
