| Spinning a yarn … King Golden Hair, one of the newly-discovered fairytales. Illustration: Barbara Stefan |
"A whole new world of magic animals, brave young princes and evil witches has come to light with the discovery of 500 new
fairytales, which were locked away in an archive in Regensburg,
Germany for over 150 years. The tales are part of a collection of myths, legends and fairytales, gathered by the local historian
Franz Xaver von Schönwerth (1810–1886) in the Bavarian region of Oberpfalz at about the same time as
the Grimm brothers were collecting the fairytales that have since charmed adults and children around the world."
