The Twelve Dancing Princesses
If you like magic, invisible cloaks, secret gardens, enchanted castles, and glittering dances, then this is the story for you. The Brothers Grimm wrote the most famous version of this mystery tale about how 12 beautiful princesses manage to wear out their dancing shoes every night, even though they never seem to leave their room. The story is also known as: The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes or The Shoes that were Danced to Pieces. Take a look at the original tale at this site:
