Join eleven-year-old Julie as she finds a lost fairy tale, from the Brothers Grimm, in the attic of her grandmother's southern plantation.

The manuscript was brought over on the ship, the Kaiser Wilhelm by eleven-year-old Cordelia Grimm, and left in the care of Julie's grandmother almost fifty years ago.

When Julie meets the editor of her local newspaper, plans are made to surprise both Julie's grandmother and the people in her town.
