There is no book that from the day on = which It was published to the present has so steadily re- ^ tamed its hold on childhood. The reason is not far to lx themselves go back to the childhood of mankind; they are no literary product, but have been unconsciously developed by countless generations . Now It seems to me that it is this very simplicity j which makes these tales particularly suitable as an earlv I reading book for children. We move amid the objects of 1 - ^^cre is no careful analysis of motives • .. the diction is as straightforward as we expect from the l^t-^ive story-tellers of simple folk. It is no objection t at the tales are already well known through English translations : I see no reason why the path of the beginner « should not be made smooth; and a competent teacher will ^ never have difficulty in making sure that the lesson has ^ been carefully prepared. He will expect the idiomatic ^ phrases not only to be translated, but will insist on a ^ knowledge of their literal meaning ; and by asking German ^ questions based on the text and requiring German answers (not a mere 3a or iKein, but complete sentences) he ca^' convince himself that his pupils have fully mastered the i! / passages set, and have derived real benefit. The notes are, I believe, sufficiently full. In order to ^ avoid the explanation of simple grammatical points, without ^ however leaving them untouched, I have adopted the corn- ua promise of adding frequent references to Mr Eve’s grammar- , doing so I have followed the precedent of other volumes .Qiin this series. The large number of cross references will VI PREFACE. enable the teacher to take any or all of the tales, and in any order. Great care has been devoted to the vocabulary ; but slips and inconsistencies will sometimes escape the most vigilant. I shall be grateful for corrections and suggestions which will render this or any other part of the book more useful and more complete. I have not hesitated to add some notes on the subject- matter, which of course deal almost exclusively with points of folklore. Some may consider these notes superfluous, — they will find that they are distinguished in the printing from notes on the language, and can therefore be easily skipped. Others will see that they are incomplete ; but this criticism assumes too high an aim. I shall have achieved my object if these notes will lead some older readers to give a little thought to the fascinating study of folklore for which these tales paved the way. When they do so they will agree with me in a feeling of great gratitude to Mr Andrew Lang, whose labours in this field have been so persevering and so fruitful. To Mr H. W. Eve, Headmaster of University College School, I am indebted for a very careful revision of the notes ; it is no small thing to profit by the experience of so scholarly a critic. I have received much valuable help and kindly encouragement from my father and from Mr Israel Gollancz ; and I have to thank Mr E. L. Milner-Barry, of Mill Hill School, and Mr A. T. Baker, of this College, for many useful contributions and criticisms. WALTER RIPPMANN. Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. May ist^ 1896. * The little handbooks of Mr G. L. Gomme and Miss M. R.

In all these cases bott or better (less common) may be used ; but bott can also be followed by bon and the genitive (as in Engl, ‘full of...’), better never. Cp. E. § 370 obs. i. 6 20. ia has here the force of our interjection ‘why’ at the begin- ning of a sentence; cp. also 42 i; 63 8; 68 20. It should be noticed that in all these cases ja is unaccented. But in 98 6 (tap ja ntemanb l&ereiu) and 113 4 (unb ia nict^t ben getbenen) it has a strong accent, and renders a command very impressive (‘be sure not to...’). 6 23. eiuem : cp. 2 ii Note. 623. ba...]^inburd(> : ‘through it,’ just as baben is ‘of it,’ and bariiber ‘over it’; cp. also ba...bran 17 7 and ba ^inetn 19 23. 625. ued[): often ‘besides,’ ‘in addition.’ So here (you have behaved badly — are you going to make matters still worse by back answers?); bann gab fie t^m noc^ ein ©tiicf S 3 rot 6 27 (this much she had done— and she further gave him etc. ; if nod() were accented, the meaning would be ‘another piece’); cp. also 22 8; 66 7. 6 27. i^m = bem SJtdb^en; cp. eg (in tvirbg 1. 29), also referring to the girl. 6 28. ein ©tucfd()en ^rot : cp. 1 22 Note. 6 28. ben $:ag liber: ‘during the day’; but l^eute iiber ad(>t S^age is ‘to-day week,’ and iiberg 3at;r is ‘in a year’s time.’ 6 30. bor bie 5 lugen : the accusative, because there is the idea of ‘moving into the sight of....’ P. 7 3. bie SOSeite unb SSreite : accusative of extent (E. § 324). 7 3. unb tbar fein •§atmd(>en : the inversion of subject and predicate after unb is common in the tales, and is a feature of popular speech ; for other examples cf. 25 5; 47 20; 60 20 ; 73 21 ; 105 20. 7 3. mar 5U merfen : ‘was to be seen,’ cp.

Cp. “ Toads and Diamonds,” Lang’s Perrault Ixxxiii. 7 28. n)0^t: originally = ‘ well ’ ; but it is frequently inserted to express that something may perchance happen or be true ; we have to render it by ‘I wonder,’ as here; or by ‘no doubt,’ as in 30 28 and 66 i; or by ‘I suppose,’ as in 123 22. Sometimes we have no equiva- lent, as in 25 21 and in 124 19. Cp. E. § 195 A. F. 8 1. bag SSertangte: ‘what she had desired’; cp. 49 22 Note. 8 6. einec: ‘one’ (French on); man is more commonly used for the nominative. Cp. 2 ii Note. Translate ‘just see.’ 8 8. motttc :§inau 3 : cp. 1 7 Note. 8 II. bu fonnteft mir erfricren: in English we no longer possess this use of the dative of personal pronouns, which implies that the person to whom the pronoun refers is in some way interested in the action expressed by the verb. We accordingly have to paraphrase: ‘you might freeze to death and I should lose you.’ Cp. also e 3 fbrang tl^m fort, ‘she ran away and escaped from him’ 44 6; and 30 23 (bit = to show you what I can do). In Latin this dative is common; in grammars it appears as the “ethic” dative (E. § 349). It also occurs in French : Qu'ojt me Vegorge tout a Vheure ; qiCon me lui fasse griller^ les pieds ; qii'on me le mette dans Veau bouillante^ ct qn'on me le pende an plancher. (Moliere, V Avar e V. 2.)

Sragte fie: inversion of subject and predicate is com- mon in such phrases when they are inserted parenthetically among the words quoted, but not when they precede them ; this is a popular touch. It occurs also in 106 23. 10 27. .Kinbetein: cp. 1 18 Note. 10 29. in ber 2Biege fein: the uninflected adjective, following its substantive ; this is frequent in popular poetry. Cf. E. § 320. P .11 3. fage, baf er...nimmt: fagen, meaning ‘to tell one to do something,’ requires the verb in the baf-clause to be in the conjunctive (cp. French); the indicative is very unusual, and adds vigour to the queen’s words. 11 4. liber mir: the dative, as the motion is to and fro over the queen, not from one side of her head to the other. Cp. E. § 387 (i). 11 7. lebenbig: accented on the second syllable; cp. E. § 10 (4). 11 10. bi 3 auf ben @onntag, tno: njo is sometimes used as a relative adverb of time (as in French: Vinstant ou nous naissons). 11 12. ge^brt: ‘belongs,’ and hence ‘befits, is right.’ ge^ort ‘it is fitting, becoming’; gel^ortg : ‘suitable, proper.’ 11 14. This form of punishment was an old practice. It was one of the tortures inflicted on Regulus when he returned to Carthage ; and it is recorded that Gerhard von Velzen (who murdered Count Florens V. of Holland in 1296), was rolled in such a barrel for three mornings. 11 17. fiep ^olen: ‘had it fetched’; cp.

But it is worth noticing, that in the Bavarian and Austrian dialect (to which the dimi- nutives in -ipanfel and seem to point) 51larc! is used as a mere interjection of surprise, or to introduce the answer to a foolish, unneces- sary question; and it then completely loses the sense of ‘fool.’ P. 14 3. mitten in; ‘to the middle of.’ 14 6. einen fleincii 33erg is formed in imitation of cinen l^cd; etc. (E. § 324).

Three hundred and forty-five variants. Marian Roalfe Cox. With an Introduction by Andrew Lang, vI.A. London, 1893 (Vol. xxxi. of the Publications of the Folklore Society). There are some interesting articles on Cinderella in the ourth volume of Folklore^ by Alfred Nutt (p. 133), Joseph Jacobs p. '269), and Andrew Lang (p. 413). Platen’s comedy Der gldserne Paii- offel (1823) combines the fairy tales of Cinderella and Little Briar Rose. The second part of the word 5tfc^en)3Xittef seems to be connected with I verb tjuttetn, to mess about (in the dust, ashes etc). The name (originally Peculiar to the Hessian dialect) is still applied to any dirty, slovenly child, )r to one that has to do menial work. Another common form of it is 'lfci()cnftrotef. In Scotland Cinderella was called Assiepet or Ashiepattle; ind in English tales she appears as Catskin. 39 2. ©inem. . . 9)ianne, feem iDurtc. . . : a popular turn ; we should prefer o say,,eiuem SDhmne triirbc....’’ The demonstrative is superfluous, and lue to the tendency to emphatic repetition in popular speech, another ixample of which is mentioned in 13 10 Note. 39 5. fcer Iief)e @ott ; in the speech of simple folk this is very com- nonly used, just as le bon Dieu in French.

Her memory has been preserved in many parts of central Germany, where she appears in legends and fairy tales as Frau Holle, a superior being, kindly and helpful to men, and severe only towards those that are content with a disorderly home. She haunts lakes and fountains; to reach her dwelling, mortals must pass through a well. Between Christmas and Twelfth Night she may be seen driving through the air, with the Furious Host (38 7 Note).

The two elves, especially the nearer one, who is putting on his breeches, are drawn with a point at once so precise and vivacious, so full of keen fun and inimitably happy invention, that I have not found their equal in comic etching any where.... It is said that these elves are regarded with peculiar affection by the great master who created them, which is only natural, for he has a right to be proud of them. The picturesque details of the room are etched with the same felicitous intelligence ; but the marvel of the work is in the expression of the strange little faces, and the energy of the comical wee limbs” (Mr Hamerton in Etchings and Etchers). Indeed all Cruikshank’s etchings of scenes from Grimm’s Tales belong to his best period. Mr Ruskin, in an introduction contributed to Hotten’s edition of 1868, wrote: “The illustrations... are of quite sterling and admirable art, in a class precisely parallel in elevation to the character of the tales which they illustrate ; and the original etchings .. .were unrivalled in masterfulness of touch since Rembrandt (in some qualities of delineation unrivalled even by him).” 76 3. c^ne feine @c(julb : ‘ through no fault of his.’ 76 5. observe that this does not take the case of ^aar; but in line 18 there is nothing to show the case of jirei ^aar, which is treated as a mere numeral. 76 7. ein guteg ©etviffen: there is a proverb @in guteg ©ewiffen ift ein fanfteg JJiu!^etiffen. 76 8. bem liebeu @ott: cp. 39 5 Note. 76 9. naebbem... : this can really only be taken with the first verb, and alg er should be supplied after xinb. 76 II. tvag er ba3U fagcii follte : ‘what he should say to this,’ i.e. Miow to explain it, what to think of it.’ NOTES. 173 76 14.

The vitrified forts in Scotland are well known. There are others in France, and not only castles, but also vitrified tombs. Tombs were constructed of granite, and then submitted to an intense heat, with sea-sand or sea- weed added to assist fusion, and the whole resolved into a glass sepulchre. Such vitrified tombs as have been explored in France contain Merovingian relics ; but unquestionably such are a late survival of a far earlier usage, when castles and tombs were melted into solid masses of glass because there was known no other means of cementing masses of stone together. It was a means employed before the discovery or introduction of lime as mortar.” (Mr Baring-Gould in his Introduction to Fairy Tales from Grimm. ) 102 22. bap eg...U)are; ‘indirect’ quotation of what was inscribed on the coffin.

Verbs. Simple : the principal parts of strong (also mixed and anomalous verbs) are given in the following order : imperfect, past participle, 3rd sing, present indicative (this only if stem vowel differs from that of ist sing.). Thus “nel^mcn (nal^m genommen nimmt)” denotes that the impf. of nel^men is na:^m, the past part, genommcn, and the 3rd sing. pres. ind. nimmt (hence 2nd sing, must be nimmft, and imperative nimm). Simple verbs, the principal parts of which are not given, are weak. Compound : insep. after a verb denotes that it forms an inseparable compound ; verbs not thus designated are separable, str. after a verb means that it is strong; the principal parts can be seen by referring to the simple verb. Thus “vernel^men str. insep.” denotes that »ernc!^men is a strong verb, and inseparable; its principal parts will be obtained by referring to nef;mcn: they are i)erna^m ttetnommen tterntmmt. To find the mean- ing of tjernal^m or ^ernommen look up na^m or genommen; this will show the infinitive to be »erne!^men. Again, “abnel^men str.” denotes that aBnel^men is a strong verb and separable ; its principal parts will benal^m atsgenommcn. And “^ineinftetlen” is weak and separable, pres. = 3rd sing, present indicative. impf.= ist sing, imperfect indicative, p. p. = past participle, trans., intrans. = transitive, intransitive, refl. = reflexive verb, anom. = anomalous verb. Substantives are followed by the gender (m. f. n.= masculine feminine neuter), by the terminations of the genitive singular (except femi- nine words), and nominative plural (unless it agrees in form with nominative singular, or is not used). Thus: “.Kinb n. ^er” denotes that is a neuter substantive, and that its gen. sing, is .Jtinteg, its nom. plur. .Winter. 192 VOCABULARY. [51 — abfc^tagcn coll. = collective ((Slcflcbcr is a collective of 5 ckcr) ; these are all neuter, dim. = diminutive (^cbcrc^en is a diminutive of Sefccc); these are all neuter. adj. = adjective; if the comparative of an adj. differs in stem from the positive, it is added in brackets; thus : “tang (Idnger)” denotes that the comparative of tang is tdngev (and its superlative will therefore be Idngft^cc ^e^). adv. = adverb, prep. = preposition, conj. = conjunction, indecl. = indeclinable. The references are to page and line; where the word Note is added, further information will be found in the Notes. Thus “ 93 24 Note” means, that some remarks bearing on the word or phrase in question are made in the Note on the 24 th line of page 93 . 51 5f tver 51 fagt mup audfj 53 fagcn, in for a penny, in for a pound 15 12 at», off, away abbeipcn str., to bite off abbrcc^en str., to break off 5H)enb m. ^e, evening; eg tuifl — merben, night is drawing on ; l^eut — , this evening; guten — ! good evening ! 5lf'enbbrot n. ?(e)g -e, supper abenbg, in the evening, at night 5 lbenb 5 eit f., evening, night time aber, but abermafg, again abfreffeu str., to eat clean up, to clear off (by eating) abfuf;ren, to lead away abgebeii str., to give away, give up abgebanft, discharged abgef;cn str., depart, be off, go off abgemattet, faint, tired out ab^auen str., to chop off, cut off abl^ofen, to fetch, take abjagen, to snatch from abfaufen, to buy from abtaffen str. , to stop, cease abtegen, to put off; see (5ib abteiteu, to entice from abfenfen, to turn aside abnel^men str., to take off, take from, relieve of ab^jicfen, to peck or pluck off abraten str., to dissuade abreifcu, to set out, depart 5lbfa§ m. ^fd^e, sale 5lbfd?eu m. ?g, horror, disgust ; einen — bcfommen, to be dis- gusted, to loathe abfcJfjicfeii, to send, send out or off, despatch 5lbfci()ieb m. ?g, farewell; ev na^m \jon mir — , he took leave of me ; dismissal ; er bat urn feinen — , he gave notice that he would leave, he sent in his papers; (eineni) ben — gcben, to dismiss 5lbfc^iebgftunbe f. , hour of parting abfd;iepen str., to shoot, let fly, dis- charge abf(if)facf)ten, to kill, butcher abfC^lagcn str., to refuse abfc^ncibcii — VOCABULARY. atfci(>nctbcn str., to cut off at'fcntcn anom., to send, send off; tcc 5 lbgefanttc, the ambassador, envoy abfi^cn str., to dismount at*fted()cn str., to stab at)f^cigcn str.
