May 20 - Allerleirauh
Allerleirauh, or “all kinds of fur,” is a classic 510B tale, about a king who wants to marry his daughter since she is the only one who is as beautiful as his dead wife. (Akin to Catskin, Donkeyskin, Tattercoats,etc). She says she will marry him if he makes her three dresses and a mantle, but then runs away under the cover of the mantle, which is made of all the fur and feathers of the animals of the kingdom. She is found in a new kingdom and is called Allerleirauh, and begins to work in the kitchen. At night, she sneaks away, wears her dresses, and goes to the ball. Eventually the prince of this kingdom falls in love with her, finds her, and marries her.
