Mother Holle

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Jan. 19, 2016)
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all. A delight to read, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents these peerless stories to a whole new generation of readers. Mother Holle is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm and first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales. It was originally known as Frau Holle and is tale number 24 Mother Holle is one of Germany's most durable female legendary figures and one who without doubt[citation needed] represents a pre-Christian deity who survived in popular belief and in the memory of common people well into the nineteenth century. Mother Holle is featured in Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics. Includes vintage illustration!
