Warning: these fairy tales are not for the faint of heart! These wonderful stories collected from around Germany by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are full of danger, intrigue, magic, and mystery.
Storyteller Priscilla Howe takes you into the darker world of the Brothers Grimm, in an exploration of tales you probably won’t hear from Disney. Barnes also will tell briefly about the Grimms and their role in folklore studies and German culture.

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.
