The Twelve Huntsmen: a Short Fairy Tale

A lot of the lesser-known stories collected by the Brothers Grimm are lesser-known for a good reason—they simply don’t satisfy the expectations of the modern reader. But they don’t have to stay that way…

When Princess Cyrene’s engagement to Prince Roland is derailed by Roland’s father, it’s up to Cyrene to win Roland back. Disguised as hunstmen, she and her eleven handmaidens join Roland’s household in order to discover whether his love was ever true. But just how far is Cyrene prepared to go to get her happy ending?
