Summary "Venusmärchen: Geschichten aus einer andern Welt" by Edna Fern is a collection of fairy tales written in the late 19th century. This enchanting compilation explores themes of love, beauty, and the fantastical connections between the celestial and earthly realms, often through mythological and philosophical lenses. In its pages, the reader can expect to be introduced to characters such as Venus, Madonna, and a whimsical "Sonntagskind" (Sunday Child), who embarks on whimsical adventures that reflect deeper truths about human nature and existence. The opening of the book sets a magical tone, weaving a poetic narrative that describes the descent of two heavenly stars—in symbolic forms of Faith and Yearning—who give birth to Love in a mystical forest. The beauty of nature and the innocence of first love are vividly illustrated, capturing a tableau of cosmic existence and human emotion. As the characters seek a godparent for the newborn Love, various creatures from the forest propose to fulfill this role, leading to a revelatory moment where sunlight—and by extension, divine warmth—offers to name the child. This initial story hints at the overarching themes of love’s purity and beauty that will resonate throughout the collection, inviting readers into a world where the ethereal and the intimate coalesce.
