Rübezahl, the hero of these tales is a spirit prince and exercises supreme authority over all other gnomes in his district. He is superior to them in many particulars. What his real appearance is no one really knows. He can make himself so beautiful that Apollo is ugly in comparison. On the other hand, he may, and he often does, assume an appearance so terrible that old women hurriedly mutter a fervent prayer, brave men take to flight, and young maidens sink in unconsciousness. His character is as changeable as his form.Carey, James T. is the author of 'Silesian Folk Tales The Book Of Rubezahl' with ISBN 9781410212368 and ISBN 141021236X.
