Grimms' Fairy Tales / Grimms Märchen
complete
Nonethewiser
These fairy tales are known and loved by millions of people all around the world. I think a global premium set would be right for this, although I was initially thinking about a regional German set.
I suggest 6 stamps, each representing an item/building from a well-known tale:
Cinderella: A glass slipper on the stairs
Snow White: A red apple (similar to the iOS achievement stamp)
Hansel and Gretel: A gingerbread house
Little Red Riding Hood: A red cap
Rapunzel: A tower with long, golden hair
Sleeping Beauty: A spinning wheel
If possible, please don't make these stamps too cartoon-ish. It would be great if they looked more elaborate or life-like.

Three of these stories are from Charles Perrault (France -17th century), not the Brothers Grimm (Germany - 18th century). I'm not sure why they were included when this is common knowledge.

Irene Knicely-Coutts: Please do not try to ruin the joy for everyone after the release. Everyone is happy, and now you come around with such comments. It is completely uncalled for and not correct. Charles Perrault did not create these stories either, but he and Brothers Grimm each told their versions of folk tales that had already existed for a long time.
Speaking of common knowledge, allow me to introduce you to Wikipedia. It's super useful!
Its origins can be traced back to several
pre-17th century European folk tales
. The two best known versions were written by Charles Perrault
and the Brothers Grimm
.The earliest known version of the story is found in the narrative Perceforest, composed between 1330 and 1344.
The tale was first published by Giambattista Basile in his collection of tales titled The Pentamerone (published posthumously in 1634).
Basile's version was later adapted and published by Charles Perrault
in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697. The version that was later collected and printed by the Brothers Grimm
was an orally transmitted version of the literary tale published by Perrault.The first literary European version of the story was published in Italy by
Giambattista Basile
in his Pentamerone in 1634; the version that is now most widely known in the English-speaking world was published in French by Charles Perrault
in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697. Another version was later published by the Brothers Grimm
in their folk tale collection Grimms' Fairy Tales in 1812.HeroIsAGirlsName
Irene Knicely-Coutts: Pretty sure it's common knowledge that neither Perrault nor the Brothers Grimm wrote those stories (merely recorded popular oral tales) so they're not really "from" any one author.
