Al Haines "Legends and Tales of the Harz Mountains" by Toofie Lauder is a collection of folklore and myths centered on the enchanting landscapes of the Harz Mountains, likely written in the late 19th century. This work weaves together various legends, exploring themes of love, adventure, and the supernatural, with notable stories such as that of the beautiful Princess Brunhilda and her courageous escape from a fearsome Giant, as well as tales involving lost crowns, enchanted maidens, and heroic knights. Through these narratives, readers are invited to delve into the rich tapestry of cultural history represented by the Harz region. At the start of the book, Lauder introduces readers to the "Legend of the Rosstrappe," where a Bohemian king's daughter, Brunhilda, faces dire circumstances as she is betrothed to a giant against her wishes. As she awaits her lover's return, she ultimately makes a bold escape on a noble steed, leading to a thrilling chase. The pursuit culminates at the brink of a chasm, where in a desperate leap to freedom, Brunhilda's golden crown is lost, becoming the embodiment of a tale that interlaces themes of bravery, love, and sacrifice, while establishing the mystical origins of the Harz Mountains.
