Abstract: Values are considered to be the most important factor that should be instilled in the young minds right from the initial stages of their lives.

This classical approach which includes fantasy as well as practicality paves way for instant involvement and easy understanding amidst the targeted audience which mainly comprises children. Qualities and Values are at times personified for further emancipation of its meaning and qualities. This paper will focus on a few handpicked stories from the Grimms Fairy Tales and will discuss the value that was focused in it and the way it was conveyed to ensure maximum understanding and acceptance.
