The Turnip Princess and Other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales
Author: Franz Xaver von Schonwerth
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698144554
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
A rare discovery in the world of fairy tales—now for the first time in English Move over, Cinderella: Make way for the Turnip Princess! And for the “Cinderfellas” in these stories, which turn our understanding of gender in fairy tales on its head. With this volume, the holy trinity of fairy tales—the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen—becomes a quartet. In the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Schönwerth traversed the forests, lowlands, and mountains of northern Bavaria to record fairy tales, gaining the admiration of even the Brothers Grimm. Most of Schönwerth's work was lost—until a few years ago, when thirty boxes of manuscripts were uncovered in a German municipal archive. Now, for the first time, Schönwerth's lost fairy tales are available in English. Violent, dark, and full of action, and upending the relationship between damsels in distress and their dragon-slaying heroes, these more than seventy stories bring us closer than ever to the unadorned oral tradition in which fairy tales are rooted, revolutionizing our understanding of a hallowed genre. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

"The stories that the fairies toldI learnt in English lanes of old,Where honeysuckle, wreathing high,Twined with the wild rose towards the sky,Or where pink-tinged anemonesGrew thousand starred beneath the trees.I saw them, too, in London town,But sly and cautious, glancing down,Where in the grass the crocus growAnd ladies ride in Rotten Row,St James's Park's a garden meetFor tiny babes and fairy feet.But since I came to Germany,The good folk oftener talk to me;I find them in their native homeWhen through the forest depths I roam,When through the trees blue mountains shine,The heart of fairyland is mine."
