Summary

On Episode 120 of Guide to the Unknown: These stories are totally for children. NOT! We’re looking back at the wonderful work done by The Brothers Grimm! As folklorists and historians, they literally wrote the book on fairy tales! But who were they? And what did they collect? On this episode we dive deep into: Hans My Hedgehog, The Juniper Tree, The Girl Without Hands, Bluebeard, Fitcher’s Bird, and The Robber Bridegroom! It’s a wild scene! Also some light Crimson Peak convo.
