#FairytaleTuesday: The Twelve Brothers

[CW: threats of violence to children and women] This is one of my favorite story types and includes a number of variants, including  The Six Swans, The Twelve Wild Ducks, Udea and her Seven Brothers, The Wild Swans, The Seven Ravens, and The Magic Swan Geese. This particular version was told to the Grimm brothers by Julia and Charlotte Ramus and included in the first edition of their tales.
