- Sinopsis
- Old Hungarian Fairy Tales was edited and translated from Hungarian by Baroness Orczy (creator of the famous Scarlet Pimpernel series) in 1895. Excerpt: "THERE lies before me, as I write, a quaint old book; from this little book—torn and soiled, its edges all gone—nearly all the stories in this volume are drawn. In their earliest childhood, Hungarian children hear the story of "Forget-me-Not" (Nfelejts), the history of the "Twin Hunchbacks" (A Ret Torpe), and the doings of the wicked Sultana in the "Magic Cat" (A Buvos Macska.) In my little book is the shell of these stories told simply and in few words. Who was the originator of them?"
- Acerca de Baroness Orczy
Baroness Orczy (1865–1947) was a Hungarian-born British author, best known for her Scarlet Pimpernel novels. Her Teahouse Detective, who features in Unravelled Knots, was one of the first fictional sleuths created in response to the Sherlock Holmes stories' huge success. Initially serialised in magazines, the stories in this collection were first published in book form in 1908 and have since been adapted for radio, television and film. Two other collections of Teahouse Detective mysteries are available from Pushkin Vertigo.
