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 Schönwerth 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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Wolf has been a freelance translator and editor since 1985 and a U.S.-based full-time German teacher, editor, and writer since 1998.
