《格林童話》內容廣泛,體裁多樣,除了童話外,還有民間故事、笑話、寓言等。其中故事大致分三類:一是神魔故事,如《灰姑娘》《白雪公主》《玫瑰公主》《青蛙王子》《小矮人與老鞋匠》《玻璃瓶中的妖怪》等,這些故事情節曲折、驚險奇異、變幻莫測。二是以動物爲主人公的擬人童話,如《貓和老鼠》《狼與七隻小山羊》《金鳥》等,這些故事中的動物既富有人情,又具有動物特點,生動可愛。三是以日常生活爲題材的故事,如《快樂的漢斯》《三兄弟》等,這些故事中的人物勤勞質樸、幽默可愛。

Fairy tales are for adults. I also read fairy tales when I was a child, but I understand the story itself the same way I understand the English version now: stay on the surface of the story without touching its core. Reading fairy tales in adulthood after the polishing of life seems to touch the core of the story: Not every story has a happy ending, and not all kindness and hard work can be rewarded. Life is uneven and polymorphic.
