Fairy Tales of Old Germany by Crispin Ridge (Translator) Pdf

The character of Rubezahl is well known in German folklore. These five stories are probably the best-known of the many tales about him. Although he can be very generous with his magic, he is not one to be crossed. The first tale tells how he came to be called Rubezahl, which is really just a nickname, and rather derogatory.

The Collected Sicilian Folk and Fairy Tales of Giuseppe Pitré by Jack Zipes,Joseph Russo Pdf

This two-volume set collects 300 of the most entertaining and important folk and fairy tales of Giuseppe Pitré, a nineteenth century Sicilian folklorist whose significance ranks alongside the Brothers Grimm. In stark contrast to the more literary ambitions of the Grimms' tales, Pitré’s possess a charming, earthy quality that reflect the customs, beliefs, and superstitions of the common people more clearly than any other European folklore collection of the 19th century. Edited, translated, and with a critical introduction by world-renowned folk and fairy tale experts Jack Zipes and Joseph Russo, this is the first collection of Pitré’s tales available in English. Carmelo Letterer's illustrations throughout the volume are as lively and vivid as the stories themselves, illuminating the remarkable imagination captured in the tales.
