This volume is the first dual-language edition of his tales, which fell into obscurity and have only recently been rediscovered. The 150 fables include \"The Spinster Bride,\" \"Pride Will Be Punished,\" \"The Marriage of Sun and Moon,\" and other enchanting Bavarian folktales.\u003cbr\u003eAppropriate for intermediate-level students of German, this volume is equally suited to classroom use and independent study. New English translations appear on pages facing the original German text. An introduction contains footnoted critiques of the stories as well as background material on Schwerth and his legacy. Readers will find this book a fascinating collection of little-known folktales as well as a delightful way to improve their German-language skills. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Von Schwerth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 048649991X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486499918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Franz Von Schwerth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919916105983,"sku":"9780486499918","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_43d9c54c-5442-4630-aeee-68a527232827.jpg?v=1680812619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/original-bavarian-folktales-franz-von-schonwerth-9780486499918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
