Description
"They called her 'Allerleirauh', meaning 'All-kinds-of-fur'..."
"When, for the third time, the King held a festival, all happened just as it had done before. Allerleirauh pleadde to be allowed to go, but the cook said, "Allerleirauh, thou art a witch, and always put something in the soup which makes it so good that the King likes it better than that which I cook," but as she begged so hard, he let her go up at the appointed time. And now she put on the dress which shone like the stars, and thus entered the hall.
Again the King danced with the beautiful maiden, and thought that she never yet had been so beautiful. And whilst she was dancing, he contrived, without her noticing it, to slip a golden ring on her finger, and he had given orders that the dance should last a very long time. When it was ended, he wanted to hold her fast by her hands, but she tore herself loose, and sprang away so quickly through the crowd that she vanished from his sight.
She ran as fast as she could into her den beneath the stairs, but as she had been too long, and had stayed more than half-an-hour she could not take off her pretty dress, but only threw over it her fur-mantle. Then Allerleirauh ran into the kitchen, and cooked the soup for the King. The King followed her, and finding her in the kitchen, could see that beneath the edge of her mantle of fur, the star dress shone forth. The King clutched the mantle and tore it off. Then her golden hair was revealed, and she stood there in full splendour, and could no longer hide herself. And when she had washed the soot and ashes from her face, she was more beautiful than anyone who had ever been seen on earth.
And the King said, "Thou art my dear bride, and we will never more part from each other." Thereupon the marriage was solemnized, and they lived happily until their death."

I'm trying out some fairy tale illustrations. This one is based on one of Grimms' stories, 'Allerleirauh'. There are at least a dozen versions, and is slightly similar to Cinderella.
