Mother Hulda

by Brothers Grimm, Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm · first published 1812

"Frau Holle" (; German: [fʁaʊ ˈhɔlə]; also known as "Mother Holle", "Mother Hulda" or "Old Mother Frost") is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm in Children's and Household Tales in 1812 (KHM 24). It is of Aarne-Thompson type 480. Frau Holle (also known in various regions as Holla, Holda, Perchta, Berchta, Berta, or Bertha) was a folk figure whom the Grimms claimed survived in popular belief well into the 19th century. The name may be cognate of the Scandinavian creature known as the Hulder.
