	The hidden thing for 'The Queen Mother' is a bit unfair, considering that I was trying (the not unreasonable) 'Mother Goose'.

	Sorry! That was supposed to be triggered by "Mum", not 'Mother'. It's fixed now!

	It was just triggered by "Mother" for me...still loved the quiz though! Not too easy, not too hard. 5 globes!

	I go several simply by typing in wrong answers for other questions.

	The town musicians of Bremen! I love that story. It's one of the most obscure fairy tales outside of Lower Saxony and Bremen though.

	I remembered the Bremen tale but not the title. I remember the animals!I live in California so it can't be that obscure!

	In a fit of insanity, I tried Little Red ROBIN Hood.

	@Pogues: Robert Wyatt has a track on one of his albums called "Little Red Robin Hood Hits the Road"

	There are a handful of Grimm fairy tales that are really well known and I've included the multi-word ones in here. Then there are a lot that aren't as well known, but that you can get by puzzling out the words in context. And then, well, there's 'The Mouse, the Bird and the _____" which just made me laugh so hard when I saw its name that I had to include it.

	The Princess and the Pea is not written by the Brothers Grimm. It is by Hans Christian Andersen.

	Hejman:	Mar 4th, 2011 at 00:06 GMT		6 points
	Actually, Anderson didn't write the Princess and the Pea, he simply included the story, which he had heard in his childhood, in an 1835 publication. Similarly, the Grimm brothers printed tales that they had heard in Germany. Both Anderson and the Grimms published collections of tales. Twenty-three years before Anderson published the Princess and the Pea in Danish, the Grimms published 'Kinder-und Hausmärchen' which included a tale called "Die Erbensprobe", which translates in English to "Princess and the Pea." Both may have heard an earlier Swedish tale called, "The Princess who slept on Seven Peas." It is worth noting that when the Grimms learned the tale was not German, they removed it from later editions of their collection. Anderson, was apparently not bothered that the tale was not Danish.

	well researched Hejman. I loved this, brought back childhood memories

	Did anyone else try "The three angry birds"?

	JM001:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 22:00 GMT		2 points
	Thank you Fables! Would have had no idea about the Snow White one otherwise

	I love the Shoes that were danced to pieces... but where's Fitcher's Bird? It's awesome! (in a really gruesome way).

	Was wondering what other animal would go with a mouse and a bird and it wasn't even an animal!, now I need to find that story.

	I both loved Snow White and Rose Red and was terrified by it when I was younger; that dwarf scared the pants off me!

	thank you; finally a quiz where if you type an answer that's close but wrong, you get a helpful hint rather than an obnoxious one. I was hoping you would include "The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was" which is actually a real Grimm Bros fable.
