This is Victorian era literature written by Frederich De La Motte Fouque and published by Wells, Garner, Darlon & Co., of London in 1896. This is profusely illustrated by Gordon Brown.Fouqué's inspiration for this folk tale (originally published in 1814) was the engraving of The Knight, Death and the Devil by Dürer. As Undine represented spring, so Sintram represented winter and the whole story shivers with ice, snow, frost and bitter winds. Set in the late Middle Ages, it is a product of Fouqué's deep preoccupation with Norse literature, culture and mythology. The book is in good condition for age.
