A rare discovery in the world of fairy talesnow for the first time in EnglishMove 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 talesthe Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersenbecomes a quartet. In the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Schnwerth traversed the forests, lowlands, and mountains of northern Bavaria to record fairy tales, gaining the admiration of even the Brothers Grimm. Most of Schnwerth's work was lostuntil a few years ago, when thirty boxes of manuscripts were uncovered in a German municipal archive. Now, for the first time, Schnwerth's lost fairy tales are available in English. Violent, dark, and full of action, and upending the relationship between damsels in distress and their dragonslaying 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 Englishspeaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
