European Folk and Fairy Tales	comment	European Folk and Fairy Tales (also known as Europa's Fairy Book) is a compilation book by Australian folklorist Joseph Jacobs, published in 1916. As Jacobs stated in his notes, it was his attempt to assemble all available variants of famous European Fairy Tales in order to recreate their Ur-Texts, following the example of scholars trying to restore the Ur-texts by combining different manuscripts.The book contains the following fairy tale reconstructions: Cinder-Maid - a reconstruction of variants of Cinderella; All Change The King of the Fishes - a reconstruction of variants of The Twins or Blood Brothers; Scissors Beauty and the Beast - a reconstruction of variants of Beauty and the Beast; Reynard and Bruin - a reconstruction of stories of the Fox and its rival, the Bear or the Wolf; The Dancing Water, Singing Apple, and Speaking Bird - a reconstruction of variants of The Dancing Water, the Singing Apple, and the Speaking Bird; The Language of Animals; The Three Soldiers - a reconstruction of variants from oral tradition of Fortunatus (an Early Modern Germanic novel from 1509); A Dozen at a Blow - a reconstruction of variants of The Brave Little Tailor; The Earl of Cattenborough - a reconstruction of variants of Puss in Boots; The Swan Maidens - a reconstruction of The Swan Maiden tales; Androcles and the Lion - a reconstruction of variants of Androcles and the Lion; Day Dreaming Keep Cool The Master Thief - a reconstruction of variants of The Master Thief (Grimm's "Der Meisterdieb"); The Unseen Bridegroom - a reconstruction of Cupid And Psyche and related tales; The Master-Maid - a reconstruction of variants of The Magic Flight/Girl Helps the Hero Flee; A Visitor from Paradise Inside Again - reconstructions of variants of The Ungrateful Serpent (Animal) Returned to Captivity, or Ingratitude Is the World's Reward. John the True - a reconstruction of variants of Faithful Johannes; Johnnie and Grizzle - a reconstruction of variants of Hansel and Gretel; The Clever Lass - a reconstruction of variants of The Clever Peasant Girl (a.k.a., The Farmer's Clever Daughter); Thumbkin - a reconstruction of variants of Tom Thumb; Snowwhite - a reconstruction of variants of Snow White.It can be read here and here.

European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_1665cf26	type	Glass Slipper
European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_1665cf26	comment	Glass Slipper: In Cinder-Maid, the heroine wears shoes ('shoons') of a metallic colour: the first pair of copper, the second of silver, and the third of gold. Jacobs stated in his notes that he dismissed the glass material since he believed that the motif was derived from Perrault's version, and most of the oral variants use gold as the material of the shoes.

European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_1c3423d6	comment	The Quest: Also doubles as Searching for the Lost Relative, since the protagonist in some of the tales is searching for their missing spouse. In The Swan Maidens, after his swan maiden departs back to her kingdom, the hunter goes after her in a long quest.note Makes sense, since the tale is a variant of tale type ATU 400, "The Man on a Quest for the Lost Wife". In The Unseen Bridegroom, Anima betrays her husband, who vanishes after she discovers his true face, taking their palace and riches with him. Anima then begins wandering until she finds her husband's aunts, who guide her to the Queen's palace.note In this case, the tale is a variant of tale type ATU 425, "The Search for the Lost Husband".

In A Dozen at a Blow, a simple tailor manages to trick some giants and a king, and uses brains instead of brawn to capture a wild boar and a wild unicorn. In The Earl of Cattenborough, Miss Puss enters an Ogre's castle and lies to him that the king is soon to invade the castle, so the Ogre, frightened at the prospect of battle with the king, turns into a little mouse which Miss Puss eats.

European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_325a15f1	type	Rags to Royalty
European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_325a15f1	comment	Rags to Royalty: A staple of traditional fairy tales, which he kept for his versions: humble heroes rise from their lowly station by marrying princesses; fallen princesses regain their position by wedding princes. To wit: In Cinder-Maid, Cinder-Maid becomes a lowly servant to her own step-family, but marries the prince. In The Earl of Cattenborough, the poor miller's youngest son ascends to royalty due to the actions of his pet cat. In The Clever Lass, the heroine, a poor farmer's daughter, marries the king. In The Dancing Water ..., the three sisters are daughters of a poor herb-gatherer, and the youngest marries the king. In The Three Soldiers, the sergeant marries the card-playing princess. In The King of the Fishes, the twin heroes are sons of a poor fisherman and his wife, and end up marrying princesses. In The Master-Maid, the titular master-maid is described as the giant's maid who works for him, but helps prince Edgar. At the end of the tale, she marries Edgar. In The Language of Animals, Jack, son of a poor couple, is expelled from home. Years later, he becomes the new pope of Rome, and takes on a new name: Pope Sylvester. In A Dozen at a Blow, the humble tailor marries the princess. Subverted in The Swan Maidens: the hunter marries the youngest of seven maidens who are described as daughters of a King from a faraway kingdom, but the hunter does not become king, and returns to his humble life with his wife.

The text does not mention an origin for this character, although, in a related tale, Fortunatus, the goddess of fortune is the one to provide the magic purse. In The Master-Maid, the titular character has magic powers she uses to help in Edgar's tasks and to create obstacles to stop the giant when he comes after them. Any in-story reason is not given for her powers.note In other variants of the same tale, the hero's helper is the villain's own daughter, who, just like her father, possesses magic powers.

European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_6439de78	comment	Heroic Sacrifice: In Beauty and the Beast, the merchant plucks a rose from the Beast's garden, and the Beast threatens to kill him, but makes a deal with him: his youngest daughter for the rose. When the merchant returns home and explains the situation to Bella, the girl offers to go to the Beast. John The True is essentially this: John the True learns of three perils coming his king's way, and goes through great lengths to protect both his monarch and his future bride. After he explains his reasons to the king, the ravens' curse kicks in and he becomes a statue. Some years later, the queen, who married the king in the meantime, agrees to sacrifice her twin children to bring John back.

Later, after the male half of the couple says he will go looking for their horse, since they need it, the tramp hides the animal behind some bushes and tells the man he just saw a person on a horse fly back to Heaven.

In this book: In Cinder-Maid, the girl's three dresses, the three dances, and Cinder-Maid and her two stepsisters. Bella and her two sisters in Beauty and the Beast. The titular objects of The Dancing Water, Singing Apple, and Speaking Bird, and the three sisters. In The Language of Animals, the three species of animals (dogs, frogs and birds) and the three occasions when Jack uses his abilities: dogs warn about an upcoming attack to a castle; frogs reveal the reason for a lord's daughter's disease, and the birds' prediction about the future Pope of Rome. The titular Three Soldiers who gain three magic objects by the mysterious woman in the woods, and the sergeant's three games with the card-playing princess. In A Dozen at a Blow, the king orders the tailor (whose real identity the king does not know) to kill a wild boar, capture a wild unicorn and defeat two giants that have been menacing the kingdom. In The Earl of Cattenborough, the three sons of the miller, and their inheritances: the mill, a donkey, and the cat. The three kings (of the beasts, of the birds, and of the fishes) in The Swan Maidens. In The Unseen Bridegroom, Anima's three tasks, the three types of grains in the first task, and the three species of birds in the second task. In The Master-Maid, the giant is tricked twice (with a herdboy and a shepherd boy), but takes the prince on his third attempt; the three tasks the giant imposes prince Edgar, the three obstacles the Master-Maid uses to deter the giant's pursuit (twigs, glass axe and a bottle of water), the Master-Maid's three attempts to talk to a sleeping and oblivious Edgar; the three dresses she uses as a bribe to the princess. In John The True, the three ravens that John eavesdrops on while on his voyage home, and the three perils the king and his bride will suffer (a runaway horse, a goblet with poisoned wine, and a dragon in their bedchambers). In Johnnie and Grizzle, siblings Johnnie and Grizzle are taken to the woods to be abandoned there three times; twice Johnnie uses pebbles to mark the trail; on the third time, he is forced to replace the pebbles for breadcrumbs, and they get lost. In The Clever Lass, the two old peasants are brought to the king and each is asked three questions: "What is the most beautiful thing", "What is the strongest", and "What is the richest". The way the second peasant answers tips the king off that the man had help from someone wise. In Snowwhite, the Queen's three attempts on Snowwhite's life (with a comb, a ribbon and the famous apple), and the three helpful dwarves.

European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_bd6b86df	comment	Impossible Task: In The Master-Maid, the giant gives prince Edgar three tasks, but with a catch: to empty the stable of all the straw (if done the normal way, the amount of straw grows larger), to cut down a clump of trees (with a glass axe), and to steal the eggs from a bird's nest on top of a tall tree (that has no branches to allow climbing). In The Unseen Bridegroom, the Queen forces princess Anima on three hard tasks: 1. to separate an entire barn of mixed grains (wheats, oats, and rice); 2. fill mattresses with bird feathers (four of swans, four of geese, four of eider ducks); 3. take a letter and a flask to the Queen of the Nether-World, her mother-in-law's sister, and trade them for a casket.

In other variants, there is a sequence where the second twin places a "sword of chastity" on his sister-in-law's bed, but, after saving his brother, he thinks his twin slept with his wife and kills him. The mistake is rectified and everyone lives happily ever after, though.

European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_eb01d70	type	Princess Protagonist
European Folk and Fairy Tales / int_eb01d70	comment	Princess Protagonist: Since the book is a compilation of fairy tales, some of the protagonists of the tales are princesses. To wit: In The King of the Fishes, a princess is delivered to a dragon as a sacrifice, but is saved by one of the twins and tries to delay her marriage to the false hero in order to buy time for her true saviour to appear. When her husband goes missing, her brother-in-law, her husband's twin brother, learns from her about the tower in the distance. In The Dancing Water..., a king marries a poor maiden and she bears him twins, a boy and a girl. The female twin, a princess, asks her brother to fetch the titular Dancing Water, Singing Apple, and Speaking Bird, and goes to rescue her brother when he falls to the Speaking Bird's petrification spell. In The Three Soldiers, the card-playing princess is the antagonist: by cheating at cards, she wins the magic objects the sergeant got from the old lady. In The Unseen Bridegroom, Anima is the third daughter of a king and queen (a princess), who meets her husband, loses him, then goes in search for him. On her quest, she meets her husband's aunts, who give her directions and objects she can use later. Finally, she goes to meet her mother-in-law, the Queen, and works for her in order to regain her husband. In The Master-Maid, an unnamed princess is an obstacle for the Master-Maid's meeting with Edgar. The girl is not a true antagonist, simply a princess Edgar's father betrothed him to when he forgot about his love, the Master-Maid. In Snowwhite, princess Snowwhite has to escape her stepmother's attempts against her: first by using the hunter to kill her and take out her heart; then, the poisoned comb, ribbon and apple.
