Storyteller Tells the True Story of The Brothers Grimm

K. Sean Buvala, a national storyteller from Arizona, has compiled a new CD collection of less-known Grimm fairy tales. The CD, `Seven Ravens: Unvarnished Tales from the Brothers Grimm`, tells the true story behind the modern interpretations of classic fairy tales like `Red Riding Hood` and `Sleeping Beauty` (originally known to the world as `Briar Rose`).

`Folks who want to explore folktales that haven`t been `cleaned up` will really appreciate this CD,` said Buvala. `The Grimm Brothers were collectors of folklore, not the con men they are portrayed as in the movie. The Grimms really intended to preserve the heritage of the people, and with that comes all the fullness of their images of life, death, religion, consequence, and reward.`

`Bad boys, gutsy girls, petulant parents, and knives are all here?and that`s just the first story on the CD,` says nationally-traveled storyteller and expert on the Brothers Grimm, K. Sean Buvala, describing his newest CD release of `Seven Ravens: Unvarnished Tales from the Brothers Grimm.` Buvala, the director of Storyteller.net and a veteran of 20 years of storytelling throughout the country, releases his fourth storytelling CD to coincide with the DVD release of `The Brothers Grimm` movie.
