I cant wait to read these once they are translated and published. Last year, the Oberpfalz cultural curator Erika Eichenseer published a selection of fairytales from Von Schönwerths collection, calling the book Prinz Roßzwifl. This is local dialect for scarab beetle. The scarab, also known as the dung beetle, buries its most valuable possession, its eggs, in dung, which it then rolls into a ball using its back legs. Eichenseer sees this as symbolic for fairytales, which she says hold the most valuable treasure known to man: ancient knowledge and wisdom to do with human development, testing our limits and salvation.
