Grimm's Fur-of-All-Kinds (Allerleirauh)

A dying queen demands that her husband remarry only someone as beautiful as she. After the mourning period, his advisors scramble around to find a new monarch, but the king’s eye alights on his very own daughter. She demands abstrusse wedding gifts, but they are manufactured. In desperation, she flees with her dowry, including a fur made from all the kingdom’s animals, and hides in the forest.

What can come from an impossible promise to a dying monarch, and how does one redeem oneself from a horrific crime by one’s own father? Ian and I summarize and then discuss this tale that begins in tragedy, runs through trauma, butts up against cruelty and envy, and culminates in the tearing away of an old wound.
