Can you imaging having to wear a bearskin for seven years without taking it off? It may sound impossible but the soldier in our story was willing to try. After all he went into an agreement with the Devil without even realizing it. If the soldier managed to keep his promise, he was going to become rich. If not, he was going to die. Let us tell you that his life was not easy during those years. It was even difficult, not to say impossible, to win a girl’s heart. Do you think he will keep his side of the bargain and will it actually be worth it? Find out in the Brothers Grimm’s "Bearskin".

Brothers Grimm are probably the best-known storytellers in the world. Some of their most popular fairy tales are "Cinderella", "Beauty and the Beast" and "Little Red Riding Hood" and there is hardly anybody who has not grown up with the adventures of Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel and Snow White.
