The wonder tales most familiar and accessible to the teacher are probably
those included in the collections of Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. So
constant is the demand for these that the following list may be found
useful, as indicating which of the stories are more easily and effectively
adapted for telling, and commonly most successful.

It must be remembered that many of these standard tales need such adapting
as has been suggested, cutting them down, and ridding them of vulgar or
sophisticated detail.

From the Brothers Grimm:

The Star Dollars
The Cat and the Mouse
The Nail
The Hare and the Hedgehog
Snow-White and Rose-Red
Mother Holle
Thumbling
