The Juniper Tree One of the grimmest of all of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s fairy tales is “The Juniper Tree”. The story’s dark themes and murky past make “The Juniper Tree” an anomaly among fairytales. Set in the distant past (2,000 years ago), the story begins with a young woman longing for a child “as white as snow and as red as blood,” and, when she finally gets her wish, she dies.
