Samenvatting:

Uncover the fairy tale secrets that made the Grimms famous.

In fairy tales, a young woman can have impossibly long hair, a man can turn into a lion during the day, and a simple spindle can change a kingdom's history.

There are few limits on characters we can create or the stories we tell. Our characters don’t necessarily have to look or act a certain way, and fairy tale magic can delight readers in fresh new ways.

In Lessons from Grimm, you’ll do a deep dive into how the Grimms masterfully handle key elements of genre, character, setting, plot, fairy tale magic, and theme.

Lessons from Grimm is perfect for teenage writers and up. While beginning authors will learn basic storytelling techniques, more advanced storytellers will hone in on specific tips for writing fairy tale magic and themes.

By studying examples of well-known and more obscure tales, you'll come away with a fresh perspective on Grimms' fairy tales and lots of ideas for writing your own stories.
