    The Brothers Grimm - The Shoemaker and the Elves
    Jan 27 2026
    While I take a short break, I will be putting up Grimm Tales which I recorded about two years ago.

    "The Elves and The Shoemaker" is a set of fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm about a poor shoemaker who receives much-needed help from three young helpful elves. The original story is the first of three fairy tales contained as entry 39 in the German Grimm's Fairy Tales under the common title "Die Wichtelmänner". In her translation of 1884 Margaret Hunt chose The Elves as title for these three stories.
