Ludwig Bechstein (1801 - 1860) war etwas später dran als die allgegenwärtigen Brüder Grimm, doch sind seine Märchensammlungen nicht minder berühmt.

"Das Mäuslein Sambar", "Zitterinchen", "Die drei Hunde", "Der wandernde Stab", "Die Wünschdinger" und viele mehr erzählt nur Bechstein - und das auf wunderbar unterhaltsame Weise.
