Abstract This is a study of the cultural variants of the Grimm's brothers famous tale Der Frosch Konig. I will examine five stories, beginning with the Cajun tale The Frog and the Princess, then continue with the Balinese version, The Frg Prince, the Krean The Toad and the Bridegroom, the Scandinavian the Enchanted Toad, ad lastly the Russian tale, The Frog Priness. I will compare and contrast each story to the Grimm's version, and then speculate as to the reasons behind each variation. With the use of charts I will organize the changes as well as focus on a list which will help organize each cultural variation. Hopefully, upon reading this thesis one will realize how beautiful and colorful the world is, joined together by different cultures which proudly add their own values and traditions to each tale.
