Quiet Hints to Growing Preachers is a book of advice by Charles E. Jefferson.

But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before bedtime.

She was twelve years old, I was a hobbledehoy of sixteen. We were learning dancing together.
