A quick tale from Czechia (Bohemia).

The Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus.

Another wonderful story from the Brothers Grimm. Because it's an original Grimm story, beware of a few things that are a bit icky (a dead horse's head talking and a terrible fate for the imposter). But it is a fun story and the basis for one of my favorite books.

A fun short story from Hans Christian Andersen. The ending is not quite what you will expect.

The oldest story written in English. It is a story of fighting monsters and a great hero.

Another wonderful story from William Shakespeare, as adapted by Edith Nesbit.
