Dr Anna Bauer, DAAD lecturer in German at the University of Auckland, will be talking about where the brothers Grimm collected the fairy tales many of us know and love, and how landmarks from the region have left their imprint on the tales.

Anna Bauer was born in Kassel and raised in Rengershausen, the village where one of the Grimm brothers' main fairy tale informants lived: Dorothea Viehmann. Having grown up with lots of fairy tale lore, Anna now teaches language acquisition and linguistics, as well as being the study and scholarship advisor for the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

The presentation will be in the Pat Hanan Room (Room 501), Arts 2 Building, University of Auckland City Campus.
