Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm collected stories from all over Germany in the 19th century, writing some down for the first time. Join storyteller Priscilla Howe for some of the Brothers Grimm’s gentler stories, just right for families. You’ll hear some old favorites, like Rapunzel, and some unknown stories, such as The Cat and the Mouse and the Butter.

Priscilla Howe became a full-time storyteller in 1993. You’ll find her at festivals, school assemblies and residencies, juvenile detention centers, libraries, house concerts, colleges, and coffeehouses. She performs in English, French, and occasionally Bulgarian. When she’s not telling stories in the U.S. and Europe, she’s at home in Lawrence, Kan.
