Story in 12
pictures
by unknown artist [perhaps Paula Jordan]
Tale by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, after the translation of Mrs Edgar Lucas
There was once a man who had seven sons, but never a daughter, however much he wished for one.
At
last, however, he had a daughter. His joy was great, but the child was small
and delicate and, on account of its weakness, it was to be christened at home.
The father sent one of his sons in haste to the well to fetch some water; the
other six ran with him.
