German legends
Does anyone know if there's any English translation available of Der Held des Nordens or Der Zauberring (what, no articles?!) by Friedrich de la Motte-Fouque? Thanks in advance! 24.23.196.85 (talk) 01:53, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, here's one of the latter. It seems to be available for purchase (reviewed here). Deor (talk) 12:38, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I am, however, unable to find any evidence of an English translation of Der Held des Nordens. Deor (talk) 15:07, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Penguin Classics do a translation of the The Nibelungenlied, which is the medieval source for "Der Held des Nordens". Alansplodge (talk) 18:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I already have a copy of the Nibelungenlied, but I was looking specifically for the version by De la Motte.  I'll make sure to buy a copy of The Magic Ring! 24.23.196.85 (talk) 03:44, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
