There are actually several dozen of them. There are the classics, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, etc.

It is interesting to note that there are several key differences in their stories and what we have received. The wicked step-sisters cut off their toes and parts of their feet in Cinderella; the prince did a bit more than kiss the sleeping beauty, etc.

In Litte Red Riding Hood, this story is taken from an area called the Schwalm. In this area young unmarried girls, in their traditinal German practive, wore little red hats to indicate that they were not married. It's where the idea came from.

The Grimm brothers wrote these stories so that the evils or the world could remain distant, while security could be found at home.
