A rare discovery in the world of fairy talesโnow for the first time in English
With this volume, the holy trinity of fairy talesโthe Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersenโbecomes a quartet. In the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Schรถnwerth traversed the forests, lowlands, and mountians of northern Bavaria to record fairy tales, gaining the admiration of even the Brothers Grimm.
