this version, written by the Brothers Grimm, is the earliest form of the story that is commonly known. The actual earliest version is Sun, Moon, and Talia but it doesn't follow the storyline of the fairytale we now know

No Kalea, this is the grimm version it's just not the original. The grimms edited it from a version were the princess falls asleep due to a flax allergy- is raped by a king and gives birth to twins who suck the flax out of her finger. So while the grimms are famous for it. It is not really theirs.

I literally just read the story from The Brothers Grimm 101 Fairy Tales book, and this is exactly how it is published. The story you all are thinking of may not be published by the Grimms. Just sayin.

I don't understand why everyone is saying this is not the original version. The one with the rape and everything is called "Sun, Moon, and Talia" The story posted here is the real version

Hi Talien,

Thanks for your notes. The "Sun, Moon and Talia" is here too.

Not sure I care for the Disneyfication of life. The underlying proposition is still the same: you are born alone, you live, you die alone. We are not of this world, only visitors.

This is the Brother's Grimm version of the story. It is not the 'original' story that you had heard about.

The Grimm brothers were a pair of German lawyers, and at least one of them had a strong interest in linguistics and the history of legal practice. This pair lived around the 1800s.

The more unsavory version of the story that you had read about is older than the Grimm brother's rendition. It is called "Sun, Moon, and Talia" by the Italian Giambattista Basile around the 1600s. Do not read this one if there are children present. You have been warned.

These tales gained greater popularity after they had been praised by the Grimm brothers.

To be perfectly honest, I find the Disney version of the story much more likeable than any of it's source material. In the Disney version, the prince's horse had more personality than any of the characters in the original stories. A great deal more craftsmanship went into making the Disney cartoon than was put into these stories.

Then again, technology probably helps with that, a bit. Imagine what it would have been like trying to write a story if one small mistake on a page requires you to throw away the entire parchment. Not to mention the high price of ink in those days.
