Clever Elsie

"Clever Elsie" is a German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. In the original 1812 edition, story #32 was called Hanses Trine. It was removed after the first edition and replaced by Die Kluge Elise in the 2nd edition. In 1976, German author Christa Reinig published her own rather different version of the fairy tale, known as a fairy tale called, Kluge else, Katherlieschen und Gänsemagd als Bremer Stadtmusikanten (English version as "Clever Elsie, Frederick and Catherine, and The Goose Girl Meets The Four Bremen City Musicians"), which is part of the children's book Update on Rumpelstiltskin and other Fairy Tales by 43 Authors, which is compiled by Hans-Joachim Gelberg, illustrated by Willi Glasauer, and published by Beltz & Gelberg.
