The Golden Bird (German: Der goldene Vogel) is a fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm (KHM 57) about the pursuit of a golden bird by a gardener's three sons. [1] [2]
It is classified in the Aarne–Thompson–Uther Index as type ATU 550, "Bird, Horse and Princess", a folktale type that involves Supernatural Helper (Animal as Helper). Other tales of this type include The Bird 'Grip', The Greek Princess and the Young Gardener, Tsarevitch Ivan, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf, How Ian Direach got the Blue Falcon, and The Nunda, Eater of People. [1] [3] [4]
Origin
A similar version of the story was previously collected in 1808 and published as Die weisse Taube ("The White Dove"), provided by Ms. Gretchen Wild and published along The Golden Bird in the first edition of the Brothers Grimm compilation. In the original tale, the youngest son of the king is known as Dummling, a typical name for naïve or foolish characters in German fairy tales. In newer editions that restore the original tale, it is known as "The Simpleton". [5]
