Spamer, Otto 1820-1886 creator text utu 2026 monographic sv 1 online resource : multiple file formats Ny Samling Folksagor by Otto Spamer is a collection of folk tales written in the late 19th century. The volume gathers moral, magical, and comic stories from the European tradition, mixing Germanic classics with fresh retellings and a reflective preface on the nature of storytelling. The opening of the collection begins with a lively essay that contrasts lies, exaggeration (“skarfva”), and true fairy tales, spotlighting the Hessian braggart “Lögnpetter” and his Münchhausen‑style boasts. It then moves through a suite of narratives: a devoted sister who keeps seven years of silent spinning to redeem her brothers turned into ravens; a journeyman in Amsterdam who mistakes “Kannitverstan” for a man’s name and learns humility amid wealth and a funeral; three princesses with fragile glass hearts and a suitor who trains as a glazier with “velvet hands”; two stolen children who shapeshift to escape an evil sorcerer; the proud princess humbled in King Thrushbeard; and the beginning of a Moravian‑Wallachian tale about the orphan Michel, which cuts off as his uncle leads him into the caves of Radhošť.
