Context paragraphs:
Childe Rowland: "Childe Rowland" is a fairy tale, the most popular version written by Joseph Jacobs in his "English Fairy Tales", published in 1890.  It was based on a Scottish ballad, which is why the text alternates between prose and rhyming stanzas.  Joseph Jacobs called the King of Elfland's palace "the Dark Tower" in his version, an addition he made that was not part of the original ballad.  This harks to Shakespeare's "King Lear" and Robert Browning's poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," but neither of those references have any relation to the fairy tale.

The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish: The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish (Russian: Сказка о рыбаке и рыбке , "Skazka o rybake i rybke") is a fairy tale in verse by Alexander Pushkin.  Pushkin wrote the tale in autumn 1833 and it was first published in the literary magazine "Biblioteka dlya chteniya" in May 1835.  The tale is about a fisherman who manages to catch a "Golden Fish" which promises to fulfill any wish of his in exchange for its freedom.  The storyline is similar to the Russian fairy tale "The Greedy Old Wife" (according to Vladimir Propp) and the Brothers Grimm's tale "The Fisherman and His Wife".

New Fairy Tales (1844): 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.

Stan Bolovan: Stan Bolovan is a Romanian fairy tale collected in "Rumänische Märchen" by Mite Kremnitz (1882).  Fairy tale collector Andrew Lang included it in his "The Violet Fairy Book" (1901).  Versions of the tale were later retold by Ruth Manning-Sanders in "A Book of Dragons" (1965) and "A Choice of Magic" (1971), and by Christopher Rawson in "The Usborne Book of Dragons" (1979).

The Red Shoes (1948 film): The Red Shoes is a 1948 British drama film written, directed and produced by the team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, known collectively as The Archers.  The film is about a ballerina who joins an established ballet company and becomes the lead dancer in a new ballet called "The Red Shoes", itself based on the fairy tale "The Red Shoes" by Hans Christian Andersen.

The Nine Peahens and the Golden Apples: 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.

Powell and Pressburger: The British film-making partnership of Michael Powell (1905–1990) and Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988)—together often known as The Archers, the name of their production company—made a series of influential films in the 1940s and 1950s.  —24 films between 1939 and 1972—were mainly derived from original stories by Pressburger with the script written by both Pressburger & Powell.  Powell did most of the directing while Pressburger did most of the work of the producer and also assisted with the editing, especially the way the music was used.  Unusually, the pair shared a writer-director-producer credit for most of their films.  The best known of these are "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943), "A Canterbury Tale" (1944), "A Matter of Life and Death" (1946), "Black Narcissus" (1947), "The Red Shoes" (1948), and "The Tales of Hoffmann" (1951).

Kashchey the Deathless: Kashchey the Deathless (Russian: Кащей бессмертный , "Kashchey bessmertnïy"), Kashchey the Immortal, is a one-act opera in three scenes (styled a "little autumnal fairy tale") by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.  The libretto was written by the composer, and is based on a Russian fairy tale about Koschei the Deathless, an evil, ugly old wizard, who menaced principally young women.  A similar fairy tale was also used by Igor Stravinsky (Rimsky-Korsakov's pupil) and Michel Fokine to create their iconic ballet, "The Firebird".

The Fisherman and His Wife: "The Fisherman and His Wife" is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, tale no. 19.  It is Aarne–Thompson type 555, the fisherman and his wife.  Its theme was used in "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish", an 1833 poem by Aleksandr Pushkin.  Virginia Woolf has her character Mrs. Ramsey in "To the Lighthouse" read a version of the story to her son, James.  Günter Grass's 1977 novel, "The Flounder," is loosely based on the fairy tale, as are Emanuele Luzzati's version, "Punch and the Magic Fish," and Ursula LeGuin's novel "The Lathe of Heaven".

The Buried Moon: 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.
