Faithful John: From the Grimms’ Fairy Tales Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Step into an infinite world of stories
Children
This Brothers Grimm tale tells of a young man who, despite experiencing various spooky and potentially horrifying situations like encountering spirits in a haunted castle or sitting with hanged men under a gallows, cannot understand what it means to feel fear or “shudder.” He is perplexed by the concept and seeks to learn it. After surviving these trials and even marrying a princess, who is annoyed by his constant lack of fear, he finally learns to shudder when his wife’s chambermaid plays a trick on him, pouring a bucket of cold water and fish on him while he sleeps.
