«Volksmärchen der Deutschen» is Benedikte Naubert's collection of tales and legends, published by Hofenberg in paperback (374 pages, in German).
A pioneering collection of Germanic tales and legends that predated the Brothers Grimm: Benedikte Naubert rewrites traditional stories such as the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, the elf king's daughter, the Nibelungs, Genoveva and the White Lady, in a style that mimics the simplicity of oral storytelling.
The work was originally published anonymously between 1789 and 1792 as «Neue Volksmährchen der Deutschen»; this 2015 edition gathers the four volumes and is based on the 1840 edition.
Recommended for readers interested in folk tales, Germanic mythology and the antecedents of the Brothers Grimm.
