_Weisst du weviel Sternlein stehen_, by Lewinski, published by Schreiber. In Sweden there appeared translations of Perrault and D'Aulnoy. _The Blue-Bird_ was oftenest printed as a chap-book. Folk-tales were collected in:-- _Swedish Tales_, a collection. H. Von Schroter. 1844. _Folk-Tales_. George Stevens and Hylten Cavallius. Sweden has given us the modern fairy tale, _The Wonderful Adventures of Nils_ (2 volumes). This delightful tale by Selma Lagerlöf, born 1858, and a winner of the Nobel prize, has established itself as a child's classic. It has been translated by V.S. Howard, published by Doubleday, 1907. In Norway we have:-- 1851. _Norske Folkeeventyr_, collected by Asbjörnsen and Moe. 1862. _Norse Tales_. The above tales translated by Sir George W. Dasent. In Denmark we have:-- _Sagas of Bodvar Biarke_. _Danske Folkeeventyr_, by M. Winther, Copenhagen, 1823. 1843-60. _Danmarks Folkesagn_, 3 vols., by J.M. Thiele. 1805-1875. _Fairy Tales_, by Hans Christian Andersen. These tales are important as marking the beginning of the modern fairy tale. They are important also as literary fairy tales and have not been equaled in modern times. In Slavonia we have:-- _Wochentliche Nachrichten_, by Busching, published by Schottky. In Hungary we have:-- 1822. _Marchen der Magyaren_, by George von Gaal. In Greece and Russia no popular tales were collected before the time of the Grimms. In Italy the two great collections of the world of fairy tales have been mentioned. Italy has also given the modern fairy tale which has been accepted as a classic: _Pinocchio_, by C. Collodi (Carlo Lorenzini). This has been illustrated by Copeland, published by Ginn; and illustrated by Folkhard, published by Dutton. In America the publication of fairy tales was at first a reprinting of English editions. In colonial times, previous to the revolution, booksellers imported largely from England. After the revolution a new home-growth in literature gradually developed. At first this was largely in imitation of literature in England. After the time of Washington Irving a distinct American adult literature established itself. The little child's toy-book followed in the wake of the grown-up's fiction. The following list[7] shows the growth of the American fairy tale, previous to 1870. Recent editions are given in Chapter VI. 1747-1840. _Forgotten Books of the American Nursery, A History of the Development of the American Story-Book_. Halsey, Rosalie V. Boston, C.E. Goodspeed & Co., 1911. 244 pp. 1785-1788. _Isaiah Thomas, Printer, Writer, and Collector. Nichols, Charles L_. A paper read April 12, 1911, before the Club of Odd Volumes.... Boston.
