Scott No.: 1181
Date of Issue: June 21, 1981Subject: Grimm Brothers, The Frog King
This stamp features a child's drawing of "The Frog Prince" from Grimm's fairy tales: "IN old times when wishing still helped one" a beautiful princess lost a golden ball in a well. Enter the frog. The princess is petulant. The king is commanding. All ends well (although the frog might have preferred to skip the flinging against the wall). Other stamps featuring this story include: Ajman, Czechoslovakia, and Germany.
