Little Long-Nose (illustrated)

Although the Brothers Grimm and Hans Andersen came to dominate the world of fairytales
in the second half of the nineteenth century, they were not the only collectors or
authors of fairytales to gain an English-speaking public during this period. Other
German collectors of traditional tales are dealt with elsewhere, but of those writers
who composed their own tales Wilhelm Hauff heads the list. His Marchen, whether
published as a book or separately, have kept a firm place in German children's
reading from the time of their first appearance right to the present day. Equally,
there has been a steady stream of English editions over the same period.
