The Queen Bee
By the Brothers Grimm | Illustrated by Xenia Latii and Stefan Chavdarov
The Queen Bee is a tale of three brothers, princes actually, who couldn't be more
different. The youngest and simplest of the bunch sets out in search of his much more
adventurous brothers.
His brothers find him something of a nuisance, and simple too! They tease
and bully him the whole journey until they arrive at an enchanted castle that's been
turned to stone.
They are given three challenges to complete to restore the castle to its original beauty,
and whoever completes all three tasks will be rewarded with the princess' hand in
marriage. Simpleton finds a way to beat the odds and break the enchantment, living
happily ever after.
