What to expect
“The Frog Prince,” also known as “The Frog King, or Iron Henry,” is a German fairy tale. It was collected by the Brothers Grimm and is the first story in their collection of “Children’s and Household Tales,” published in 1812. The tale has captivated audiences for many years, offering moral lessons about keeping promises, looking beyond appearances, and the power of love and perseverance.
A beautiful, but spoiled, princess often played with her golden ball by a well in the woods. One day, she dropped the ball into the well and began to cry. A voice offered to retrieve her ball if she promised to be its companion, eat from her plate, drink from her cup, and sleep in her bed. The princess agreed, hoping to break the promise to a mere frog.
The frog was a prince under a wicked witch’s spell. The princess, relieved to have her ball back, ran back to the castle, forgetting her promise. The next day, the frog arrived at the castle, reminding the princess of her promise. The princess was forced by her father, the King, to keep her word, emphasizing the importance of honor.
