Mother Holle: Grimm fairy tales

Mother Holle is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm and first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales. It was originally known as Frau Holle.

Mother Holle is one of Germany's most durable female legendary figures and one who without doubt represents a pre-Christian deity who survived in popular belief and in the memory of common people well into the nineteenth century.

Mother Holle is featured in Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics.
