The 12 Dancing Princesses
Download the 12 Dancing Princesses
If you like magic, invisible cloaks, secret gardens, enchanted castles, and glittering dances, then this is the story for you.
The Brothers Grimm wrote the most famous version of this mystery tale about how 12 beautiful princesses manage to wear out their dancing shoes every night, even though they never seem to leave their room. However, we have chosen the “French Version” as told in English by Andrew Lang. It’s even more romantic and exciting, and it has some lovely light touches:
It was whispered about that they led exactly the lives that princesses ought to lead, sleeping far into the morning, and never getting up till mid-day.
Barbie has recently appeared in her own version of this fairy tale. We say not a word against La Belle Barbie, but Bertie’s version is the TRUE one!
If you like this story, you might also enjoy listening to The Sweetest Princess, The Princess and the Pea, and Cinderella.
Told by Natasha Gostwick. Duration 26 Minutes.
