These notes are from The Robber Bridegroom which is part of Household stories by the Brothers Grimm translated by Lucy Crane and illustrated by Walter Crane (1886). So, I've always heard that the Grimm fairy tales are much more gruesome than people realize. They're often read to children (and remade) for young audiences, but are quiet dark. This is one of the dark ones! That's why I wanted to read these, to find the scary stories. I'm taking notes over part 2, but part 1 is the set up. The miller's daughter is visiting her groom's house. She's never been there, and he told her to visit so that she could get to know him better (lured her!) Never go to someone's house if you don't know them. That's the moral of this one She has a weird feeling about this whole thing, so she sprinkles pea's on the ground during her journey. I love that this girl is smart! Always trust your instinct When she arrives, there's a creepy bird that's singin...
