Are you sure you're not thinking of the tale of Pyramis and Thisbe? They are lovers who can only talk through a wall. It turns up in Midsummer's Night Dream, but it may have been incorporated into a Grimm faiy tale too. Otherwise, I have no idea, sorry. I assume you've done the obvious stuff like check the wikipedia article on Grimm's fairy tales? It's pretty comprehensive

It's possible that I got them confused, or dreamt it. They myth of Pyramus and Thisbe sounds close, but I thought I remembered a happier ending. Anyhow, thanks!

How about "Penelope Jane", the tiny french fairy in the story by Rosanne Cash? She lived in the dresser drawer before she went to school with her human friend...Is that what you're thinking of?

I don't think so, but it sounds just so darn cute that I'll have to check it out.
