fairy tales first time in English - BymagaJones - 02-28-2015
This is why I love bookstores - a person came into the store asking about a new book, "The Turnip Princess and other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales" by Franz Xaver Von Schönwerth (ISBN: 978-0-14-310742-2). Most of Von Schönwerth's work was lost until they found thirty boxes of manuscripts a few years ago in a German archive. So now they've been translated into English, and I immediately bought myself a copy. I haven't started reading it yet, but I'm hoping to use it for some fanfic ideas, and who knows? Maybe the show will incorporate some of these stories as well.
According to the blurb on the back, his stories are "violent, dark, and full of action" and upends "the relationship between damsels in distress and their dragon-slaying heroes".
I'm sure you can get this anywhere; I bought it at Barnes & Noble.
Take a look and share what you think.

Nice! I have young nieces and nephews and take them horseback riding and camping in the warmer months. Within this book, I may have an entirely new set of stories to scare their ever-loving minds with on the trail.
Thank you for sharing!
