Er setzte sich vor das Feuer, und da konnte er sich gut wärmen; und alles war gut, denn er hatte den uralten Hausvater gefunden. This peculiar old story is of Swedish or Norwegian origin. It forms part of Asbjörnsen's Norse Tales, and has been translated into English by Dasent in his volume "Tales of the Fjeld," where it is entitled: "The Father of the Family." Der Pfannkuchen.
This is the Swedish version of a fragment of the Animal Epic of "Reynard the Fox," which crossed the Rhine with the Franks, and became well known in France, whence it gradually spread all over Europe. It forms part of the Folk Lore, of all the European nations. Dasent has given an English translation of this particular version in his "Tales of the Fjeld." Die Prinzessin, die nicht lachen wollte.
