Ludwig Bechstein's collection features a rich array of German fairy tales, meticulously edited and presented by Michael Holzinger in this 2016 edition. Originally published in Leipzig in 1856, the anthology includes a diverse range of stories such as "Aschenpuster mit der Wunschelgerte," "Der starke Gottlieb," and "Die drei Wunsche." Each tale embodies traditional themes of magic, morality, and adventure, showcasing characters like clever animals, brave heroes, and whimsical creatures. The book opens with a comprehensive table of contents, followed by a preface and source references. Notable stories include "Der redende Esel," "Die verwunschene Stadt," and "Der fette Lollus und der magere Lollus," each weaving unique narratives that reflect cultural values and human experiences. The collection also features illustrations, with a cover design incorporating Alexander Zick's artwork. The text is set in Minion Pro, ensuring readability, while the foundation is based on Walter Scherf's 1971 edition of Bechstein's complete fairy tales. This edition not only preserves the charm of the original tales but also invites readers to explore the enchanting world of German folklore through a modern lens.
