This book contains the following stories:

The Frog Prince
When she loses her beautiful golden ball at the bottom of the well, the princess is very upset. Then an ugly frog offers to help but in return he asks that she take him as her friend, to eat at her plate and sleep on her bed. The princess does not believe the frog will be able to escape from the well and wants her toy so she agrees to the terms. The frog rescues the ball but once she has it the princess runs away back to the castle. Later there is a knock at the door and the princess is forced to admit to her father what happened. The King demands that she keep her promise and so the frog joins them for dinner, eating from her plate and then follows the princess up to bed. When the princess kisses the frog he turns into a handsome prince and they live happily ever after. [Note: In the original Grimm retelling an angry princess throws him at the wall and he turns into a prince.]

The Three Little Pigs
Three little pigs grow up and the time comes for them to leave home and make their own way in the world. The first little pig builds himself a house of straw. The second little pig builds himself a house of sticks. The third little pig builds himself a house of bricks. One day a wolf comes along and blows down the house of straw. The first little pig escapes to his brothers house of sticks and hides with him, but the wolf follows and blows down the house of sticks too. The two brothers then seek sanctuary at the third brothers house of bricks, thinking that the wolf cannot blow down such a solid structure. This is true, but the wolf then climbs down the chimney. However, the third little pig being a sensible sort makes sure that there is a big cooking pot on the fire to catch the wolf and the three pigs have a yummy wolf flavoured dinner.
