Until the traditional brave little soldier, helped by the traditional poor old woman, breaks the enchantment and stays awake to solve the riddle. Where have the princesses been, and who has taken them? If anyone is set to watch over them-and many a king’s son tries to do so, on the promise of the usual reward-he falls asleep, and in the morning his head is struck off without mercy, and without concern from the (one has to say) rather callous princesses. One of the Grimms’ lesser-known tales is “The Shoes That Were Danced to Pieces.” Twelve beautiful princesses, the daughters of a stern king, live in careful seclusion, but every morning their shoes look as if they’ve been danced in all night long.
