Milestone Monday

Today, February 26th, is national Tell a Fairy Tale Day and for those needing some inspiration, we’re sharing Grimm’s Fairy Tales edited by Louis (1885-1977) and Bryna Untermeyer (1909-1985). This four-volume set was published in 1962 by The Limited Editions Club (LEC) and contains the complete collection of stories accompanied by Andrew Lang’s essay on the origin of the tales. It is illustrated by the prolific modern primitivist painter Lucille Corcos (1908-1973) who created vibrant full-page watercolors printed by color lithography and monochromatic drawings interspersed within the text.

The Brothers Grimm studied folklore and German literature while attending university and first began collecting oral folk tales at the request of two poet friends who wanted to publish a book on the matter. In 1812 the first edition of Kinder-und Hausmärchen (Children and Household Tales) was published containing 86 stories, a second volume with an additional 70 stories followed in 1815. Their collection would become one of the most influential works of folklore in the world, translated into over 160 languages and countless adaptations for opera, film, and a range of media. We also happen to hold the first English-language edition of Kinder-und Hausmärchen, a two-volume set entitled German Popular Stories, published in London, 1823-1826, with illustrations by George Cruikshank.

Our copy of the LEC's Grimm’s Fairy Tales was a gift from Loryn Romadka from the collection of longtime LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

"The folktale is with good reason distinguished from the legend, though by turns they play into one another. Looser, less fettered than legend, the folktale lacks that local habitation which hampers legend, but makes it more home-like. The folktale flies, the legend walks, knocks at your door; the one can draw freely out of the fulness [sic] of poetry, the other has almost the authority of history..."

-Jacob Grimm, Teutonic Mythology (as cited in the Introduction to Hoosier Folk Legends)

On this day (Dec 20) in 1812, the fairy tale The Foundling-Bird was published in Grimm's Fairy Tales.

The story is a great example of the Transformation Chase, in which characters change shape to avoid a pursuer; in this case into a rose bush and a rose, a church and a chandelier, and a lake with a duck.

You can check out my Weird Wednesday writing prompts blog to read all about the Transformation Chase and its cousin the Obstacle Flight, where characters throw objects behind them to block pursuers, like a comb which becomes a forest.

One of the prompts:

A madness in the method. Perhaps the disguise has to have a single flaw that could give the whole thing away. Like a car with a license plate for a state that doesn’t exist, a dictionary with the word “dictonary” on its cover, or a person with a dew claw on their ankle. You could also use specialized knowledge, things only some characters would likely know, like a knitted blanket and a crochet hook, or a piano and sheet music with B-naturals instead of B-flats.
