Vijftig Nederlandse Sprookjes (Hardcover)
Nice collection of folk- and fairytales from around the Netherlands and Flanders. Unlike some of Sinninghe's tales in other collections, most of these are sourced from reputed fieldworkers, so relatively authentic.Some tales were retranslated into the dialect they were supposed to have been told in, probably to further increase their air of authenticity, though of course with that knowledge in the back of your head it isn't all that authentic anymore.
