Today's Webtip: The Enchanted Quill

the first English translation of a 150 year old fairy-tale.

You may have heard of the rather interesting discovery of the fairy-tale collection of Franz Xaver von Schönwerth. A collection of roughly 500 stories that present a totally different picture of those tales told by the Brothers Grimm.

His stories were not unknown, but only a very few had been published until Erika Eichenseer spent much time and work digging through the treasure trove of tales that were found in a regional archive in Oberpfalz.

And now the first collection of translated tales has been published. As part of the PR, one of the stories has been published at io9.
