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.
