Quiz – Grimm Fairy Tales

Jacob Grimm was born on the 4th January 1785, his brother Wilhelm Grimm on the 24th February 1786. This quiz celebrates some of their best loved stories, many of which have become part of our everyday life. And just to make it a little bit harder (!) I’ve used the originally translated titles, not necessarily the ones we know.

 

We’ve also just turned our best quizzes into a book that you can keep! Take our quizzes home, or purchase it as a gift for a friend.
