The turnip princess : and other newly discovered fairy tales

Schönwerth, Franz Xaver von, 1809-18862015
Books
During the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Schonwerth traversed the depths of the Black Forest and scaled the heights of the Bavarian Alps, searching out and recording new fairy tales. However, except for a small portion of the tales collected in an obscure 19th-century volume, Schonwerth's works were lost - until a few years ago, when a researcher unearthed 30 boxes of manuscripts in an archive in Germany. Now, for the first time, Schonwerth's lost fairy tales are presented in English.
