Perhaps even a brave little tailor.
Nov 20– “The Valiant Little Tailor” by The Brothers Grimm (1812) translated by Margaret Hunt
Summary: A tailor kills seven flies in one blow (honestly an impressive feat) and then fakes that he killed seven men, completes a bunch of quests, and becomes king.
Commentary: This one is just goofy. It's a fun story seeing how the tailor will scam his way through each quest (while the king tries to scam him into doing more and more for the promised reward of his daughter). Just a fun, light, easy read.
