"The Three Spinners" (also The Three Spinning Women; German: Die drei Spinnerinnen) is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm in Grimm's Fairy Tales (KHM 14).[1] It is Aarne–Thompson type 501, which is widespread throughout Europe.[2][3]
It has obvious parallels to Rumpelstiltskin and Frau Holle,[4] and obvious differences, so that they are often compared.[5]
Giambattista Basile includes an Italian literary fairy tale, The Seven Little Pork Rinds, in his 1634 work, the Pentamerone.[6]
Italo Calvino's Italian Folktales includes a variant, And Seven!.[7]
The first edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales contained a much shorter variant, Hateful Flax Spinning, but it is "The Three Spinners" that became well-known.
