References to other literature

The Witcher saga, as with Sapkowski's other works, draws heavily from existing folktales and literature. Below are some examples.
== Cinderella ==
== Hansel and Gretel / Baba Yaga ==
== The Pied Piper of Hamelin ==
== Rumpelstiltskin ==
== The Six Swans ==
In the short story "The Sword of Destiny", we hear that the baron Freixenet once suffered a curse very similar to that in the Grimm fairytale "The Six Swans". Further, Geralt tells of how the tale has changed through retelling to become even more like the original fairytale.
== Snow White ==
== The Snow Queen ==
== Arthurian legend ==
