B. Sagen van den Rijn Produced by Joris Van Dael, Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "Sagen van den Rijn" by Wilhelm Ruland is a collection of folk tales and legends centered on the Rhine River, likely written in the early 20th century. The work revisits the allure of tales from ancient times, depicting various stories involving characters from Germanic folklore such as giants, heroic knights, and other mythical beings. The tales celebrate local history, traditions, and the cultural significance of the Rhine region, aiming to rekindle interest in its historical renown. At the start of the collection, we encounter a preface explaining the author's motivation to compile these well-known Rhine legends. He expresses the joy he received from revisiting these stories and hopes to connect readers with the warmth and richness of their cultural heritage. The opening includes two narratives: one about a gentle giant's encounter with a farmer, illustrating themes of innocence and misunderstanding, and another detailing the creation of a magnificent clock at the Strasbourg Cathedral, leading to the unfortunate fate of its creator due to the envy of the city's authorities. These tales set the tone for a series of enchanting stories that blend magic, morality, and legendary characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
