This collection of uncanny tales, first published in 1825 and long attributed variously, includes a story of a fatal prophecy, a version of the Yellow Dwarf fairy tale, and a retelling of Der Freischütz, the German legend of a huntsman who casts magic bullets with the Devil’s aid. Other tales of enchantment and fate complete the volume.
