Grimm Fariy Tales

I read online at various different sights:
Rapunzel
The Seven Ravens
Brother and Sister
and Hansel and Gretel

The Brother And Sister was one that I had never heard of before. It started out with a brother and sister who had a terrible step mother and step sister. So they decided to run away. The step mother found they had left and put a spell on all the drinking water in the forest, so each spring and river said do not drink me our you will become so sort of animal. Brother got so thirsty after trying may different drinking places and finding nothing, that he finally drank from pool saying, "do not drink me or you will become a deer." But he was so thirst he drank any way and found himself transformed into a deer. The sister being upset decided they had to find so shelter where she could now take care of the two of them. They traveled through the woods for some time until they came to a cabin where they lived for some time. One day they hear a kingdom near by is having a hunting tournament and Brother thought it would be fun to participate as a deer. So he tells the sister he is going and she says that when he returns he must knock three times and say, "sister I have returned from the game, let me in." So day by day he did so until a hunter hiding in a bush over heard one day. He told the king of the lovely maiden, so the next day while Brother is out he goes to the door and says, "sister I have returned from the game, let me in." She opens the door and seeing that it is not her brother is frightened. But all is well, the king takes them in and marries the maiden. They have a child and when the step mother hears of the happiness and wealth of the maiden goes up to the castle. One night as the Queen(Sister the maiden) goes to take a bath, the witch(step mother) burns her to death in the water. She in turn enchants her ugly daughter into looking like the Queen and takes her place. One night as the nurse over the child is watching the ghost of the Queen come in through the window and pets the deer and hold the child. The nurse tells the king and the next night when she comes back he touches her and she comes back to life. With the Queen back the capture the witch and the sister and burn them for revenge, and with the witch dead the Brother turns back into a human. Then they live happily ever after.

My Reaction:
I actually liked this story, this is one I have not heard. It was interesting having the Queen come back to life but I rather enjoyed the randomness of it.

Potential Problems:
It's a Grimm story... is that not enough. There is murder and magic such. Some parents don't want their children reading these kinds of things.

Recommentations:
I think these would be fun for a starting drama class or something where it could be used to inspire imagination.
