Die Gebrüder Grimm verzaubern mit ihren Märchen auch heute noch, 200 Jahre nachdem sie die erste Version der Kinder- und Hausmärchen veröffentlichten, Groß und Klein. Die Märchen von Schneewittchen, Aschenputtel, Tischlein deck dich, Dornröschen, Hänsel und Gretel, Rapunzel, dem Froschkönig, Rotkäppchen und den Bremer Stadtmusikanten kennt jedes Kind. In den Kinder- und Hausmärchen der Brüder Jacob und Wilhelm gib es aber auch weniger bekannte Gestalten wie den Fundevogel, den Bürle, den Krautesel, Meister Pfriem oder das singende, springende Löweneckerchen zu entdecken. Die Erzählungen von Liebe und Hass, Leben und Tod, Abenteuer, Magie, Mut, List und Glück sind heute so aktuell und lebensnah wie vor 200 Jahren. Die ungekürzte Hörbuchausgabe umfasst alle 203 Märchen und 10 Kinderlegenden der Brüder Grimm in Originalfassung. 20 Märchen sind sogar in ihrer ursprünglichsten Form in auch für Kinder gut verständlicher Mundart vorgetragen. Der beliebte Sprecher und Schauspieler Ernst-August Schepmann haucht den Grimmschen Märchen Leben ein und entführt den Hörer in die phantastischen Welten von Königen, Hexen, Räubern, Riesen, Prinzen und Prinzessinnen, wundersamen Tieren, mutigen Helden und unzähligen anderen Wesen.

And while his parents have attempted to shield him from the implications of being different for as long as they could (Jed was eight and at a friend's sister's birthday party when he blew his lips off onto the cake in front of everyone, finally prompting the "big talk" from his parents and an emergency superglue repair by his dad), seventh grade at Pine Hollow Middle School as a target of Robbie the supreme school bully and his pack of moronic toadies is rapidly becoming unbearable.
