German title edit

Shouldn't the German title be Die zertanzten Schuhe (rather than Die zwölf tanzenden Prinzessinnen)? The only name I know the story by is Die zertanzten Schuhe and a quick look at the German wikisource (https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Die_zertanzten_Schuhe) also always gives this name, from the first edition up to the latest one.

What a great story! Pity Walt Disney hasn't turned this into a film yet! Astrotrain 22:18, 21 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Sources edit

Are there any current sources that might be cited for some of the adaptations listed so someone might link to an article and read more about how the story was adapted and what that adaptation might look like? I am going to add a citation linked to Goodreads.com for The House of Salt and Sorrows adaptation.

Date Error edit

Pretty sure the Brothers Grimm were not publishing anything in 1457. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.6.104.1 (talk) 22:02, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Year of volume 2 edit

It looks like this article says volume 2 was published in 1457. Should that be 1857? 135.180.52.27 (talk) 04:40, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

The Restless Girls by Jessie Burton edit

A dazzling, feminist fairytale from the bestselling author of The Miniaturist and The House of Fortune.

For her twelve daughters, Queen Laurelia's death in a motor car accident is a disaster beyond losing a mother. Their father, King Alberto, cannot bear the idea of the princesses ever being in danger and decides his daughters must be kept safe at all costs. Those costs include their lessons, their possessions and, most importantly, their freedom.

But the eldest, Princess Frida, will not bend to his will without a fight and she still has one possession her father can't take: the power of her imagination. And so, with little but wits and ingenuity to rely on, Frida and her sisters begin their fight to be allowed to live. 188.30.50.79 (talk) 12:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
