Reading Notes, Brothers Grimm, Librivox, Part A

(Disney's Aurora/Briar Rose, Link)
As the final extra credit reading notes in this class,  I decided to finish reading all the stories written by the Brothers Grimm. This was honestly probably my favorite section of the Grimm Brothers just because it contained most of the stories we all know, and I like seeing how these originals differ from the Disney version or storybook versions. Of course my favorite one in this section is Briar Rose. The only thing that I could really tell that was different between the two was the curse. In the Disney version it was said that Briar Rose would remain cursed until true loves kiss, but in this version Briar was only cursed for one hundred years. In this version the prince that rescues her still kisses her but it is just as she is waking up. But regardless, the Disney version of this story stayed pretty close to the original written by the Grimm Brothers.
