Summary

"Tales and Legends of the Tyrol" by Countess Marie A. Günther is an assemblage of old stories that paints a vivid picture of the Tyrol area through its myths and legends. Set in the late 1800s, the book opens with words for those exploring the Tyrol mountains and then tells stories of strong giants, magical fairies, and scary witches. The stories show the struggles between right and wrong and teach lessons about Tyrolean culture, where being brave and clever can help you, like when Hitte Hatte, a captured fairy, fights for her freedom from the terrible Giant Jordan, who is known for kidnapping children.
