Why are there so less
Austrian fairytales:
Now you ask yourself why are there so less Austrian
fairy tales?
The answer is in the history.
In the 20.century there were lots of storytellers in
Austria. BUT when Austria became part of the german
kingdom, the Nazis took all the Austrian inventions.
Afterwards the Austrian fairy tales became German and
the storytellers fled to other countries and became
famous there, but not as Austrian storytellers.
