From the carpenter and turner
From the carpenter and turner is a fairy tale ( ATU 575). In the children's and house tales of the Brothers Grimm, it was only in the 1st edition of 1812 in place 77 (KHM 77a).
content
As a masterpiece, a carpenter makes a floating table, a turner's grand piano. Because people like the table better, the turner flies to another country and lends the wings to a prince. He flies to another realm with a brightly lit tower, where the world's most beautiful princess lives. He's caught with her. They are to be burned, but he flies them home with his wings and becomes king. Her father promises half his kingdom to whoever brings her back. The prince comes with her and an army so that he has to keep his promise.
origin
The version is based on handwriting by an unknown hand, which was only slightly formulated for printing. Grimm's comment establishes the fragmentary character and that the story could have continued with the turner. Otherwise there would be legends of wooden flying horses and kidnappings. These are particularly common in the Orient, e.g. B. The story of the ebony horse in 1001 nights . A prince on a wooden flying horse appears in the old French fairy tale Cleomades and the wooden horse in Le roumans de Cleomades par Adenes li rois .
Art fairy tales by Drda and Andersen
In Czech there is the art fairy tale Von der Princess Lichtholde and the cobbler, who could fly by Jan Drda - a Czech folk fairy tale tradition already introduces the motif of the flying cobbler and gives a further narration that goes beyond the Grimm motif in the fairy tale of the prince who flies could . In the art fairy tale of Drda, however, there is no longer any reference to lending the wings to a prince: Rather, the artful flying cobbler himself becomes the princess's lover. The motif of the princess's mighty lover in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Flying Suitcase takes a sad turn . In Janosch's parody, the master's examination committee is so incomprehensible that the wood turner flies away, and there have been no wood turners since then.
filming
The Czech fairy tale film based on Jan Drda : The Princess and the Flying Cobbler or Princess Jasnenka and the Flying Cobbler ( O princezně Jasněnce a létajícím ševci ), ČSSR 1988 with Michaele Kuklová as Jasnenka and Jan Potměšil as the flying cobbler, is in the context of this fairy tale motif .
