Question: In what year was the fairy tale of which the plot of "Tears Were Falling" can be viewed as a modern interpretation first published?
Context: Tears Were Falling (Russian: Слёзы капали ) is a 1982 Soviet fantasy film directed by Georgiy Daneliya.  The plot can be viewed as a modern interpretation of the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen "The Snow Queen".  It was the last film role of actor Boris Andreyev. New Fairy Tales (Danish: "Nye Eventyr" ) is a collection of four fairy tales written by Hans Christian Andersen and published by C. A. Reitzel in Copenhagen, Denmark on 10 November 1843.  As was customary at the time however, the title page is dated 1844.  The tales are completely Andersen's invention, owe no debt to folk or fairy lore, and are the most autobiographical of his several fairy tale collections.  The collection was received enthusiastically by the Danish critics and public and became Andersen's break-through in the fairy tale genre.  "The Nightingale" and "The Ugly Duckling" have been adapted to various forms of drama. The Squirrel Wife is the title of a children's fairy tale written by Philippa Pearce and first illustrated by Derek Collard.  This original fairy tale published by Longman Young in 1971 has subsequently been republished in Middlesex: New York City; Paris and Madrid.  Bill Geldart is responsible for illustrating publications made between 1983–1992 and Wayne Anderson most recently illustrated both New York and London publications in 2007.  The squirrel wife is also included within "The Faber book of Modern Fairy Tales". The Nine Peahens and the Golden Apples ("Zlatna jabuka i devet paunica") is a Serbian epic poetry.  It was published for the first time as a fairy tale by Vuk Stefanović Karadžić in 1853.  Later on it was published as a Bulgarian fairy tale by A. H. Wratislaw in his "Sixty Folk-Tales from Exclusively Slavonic Sources", number 38 in 1890.  Andrew Lang included it in "The Violet Fairy Book", as a translation from a German version of Karadžić's original tale.  Ruth Manning-Sanders included it in "".  It is Aarne-Thompson type 400*, the swan maiden. The Buried Moon or The Dead Moon is a fairy tale included by Joseph Jacobs in "More English Fairy Tales".  It is a striking unusual tale, with few variants, and often appearing more mythological than is common for fairy tales.  It was collected by Mrs. Balfour from the North Lincolnshire Carrs in the Ancholme Valley; its unusual characteristics made many people doubt its origins as a fairy tale.  However, when Mrs. Balfour published her notes, they were generally found reliable, and the Fens proved to have many other unusual legends.  The story may be evidence of moon worship. "Silver Hoof" (Russian: Серебряное копытце , "Serebrjanoe kopyttse" , lit.  "Small Silver Hoof") is a fairy tale short story written by Pavel Bazhov, based on the folklore of the Ural region of Siberia.  It was first published in "Uralsky Sovremennik" in 1938, and later included in the "The Malachite Casket" collection.  In this fairy tale, the characters meet the legendary zoomorphic creature from the Ural folklore called Silver Hoof.  In 1944 the story was translated from Russian into English by Alan Moray Williams and published by Hutchinson.  In the 1950s another translation was made by Eve Manning.  It was included in James Riordan's collection of stories "The Mistress of the Copper Mountain: Tales from the Urals", published in 1974 by Frederick Muller Ltd.  Riordan heard the tales from a headteacher when he was bedridden in Sverdlovsk.  After returning to England he rewrote the tales from memory, checking them against Bazhov's book.  He preferred not to call himself "translator", he believed that "communicator" was more appropriate. "Rapunzel" ( ; ] ) is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1812 as part of "Children's and Household Tales".  The Grimm Brothers' story is an adaptation of the fairy tale "Rapunzel" by Friedrich Schulz published in 1790.  The Schulz version is based on "Persinette" by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force originally published in 1698 which in turn was influenced by an even earlier Italian tale, "Petrosinella" by Giambattista Basile, published in 1634.  Its plot has been used and parodied in various media and its best known line ("Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair") is an idiom of popular culture.  In volume I of the 1812 annotations (Anhang), it is listed as coming from Friedrich Schulz Kleine Romane, Book 5, pp. 269–288, published in Leipzig 1790. "The Snow Queen" (Danish: "Snedronningen" ) is an original fairy tale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen.  The tale was first published 21 December 1844 in "New Fairy Tales.
