Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children´s and Household Tales) collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. "Frau Holle" is the 24th story in the first volume of the book published in 1812 as part of Children´s and Household Tales. Furthermore, the eponymous Frau Holle is an important legendary creature from Germany in her own right. As such, Frau Holle (or "Frau Holda" /ˌfraʊ ˈhoʊldə/) was the protectress of agriculture and women´s crafts. Holda, Holle, Huld, and Hulda may be cognate of the Scandinavian creature known as the Huldra. Jacob Grimm made an attempt to establish her as a Germanic goddess." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.01.2020)
