Det er en lidt anderledes udgave af Grimms eventyr, vi finder i denne bog, hvor der er gjort meget ud af at fortælle for børn. Især er der lagt vægt på, at sproget skal være letforståeligt, og så er der blevet plads til lidt mere humor, end man normalt finder i de gamle folkeeventyr. Der er også skåret en del i de meget grusomme straffe, så de bliver knap så grusomme. En særdeles børnevenlig og højtlæsningsegnet udgave af brødrene Grimms eventyr – også for mindre børn.

Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm wollten ursprünglich nur den hauptsächlich mündlich überlieferten deutschen Märchenschatz für die Ewigkeit bewahren. Ihre Kinder- und Hausmärchen sind die wohl berühmteste klassische Märchensammlung der Weltliteratur. Eine große Rolle spielen häufig Verwünschungen und Magie, aber auch eine belehrende Funktion darf oft nicht fehlen. Von den mehr als 200 Märchen des Grimm’schen Fundus wurden für dieses Hörbuch einige typische Tier- und Zaubermärchen ausgewählt. Auch die „klassische“ böse Hexe hat hier ihren berühmtesten Auftritt.
