The Turnip Princess and Other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales

In the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Schönwerth journeyed through Northern Bavaria to collect fairy tales, earning acclaim from the Brothers Grimm. After much of his work was lost, 30 boxes of manuscripts were recently rediscovered, making over 70 of Schönwerth's stories available in English for the first time. These dark and action-packed tales challenge traditional narratives and deepen our understanding of the oral traditions that shaped the fairy tale genre.
