Folksagan utgjorde under en period utgångspunkt för Ludwig Tiecks (1773–1853) skapande och han gav ut en lång rad av omdiktade sagor. De fem skräckromantiska berättelser som ingår i detta urval har också sina rötter i folksagan, men är så gott som helt Tiecks egna skapelser. De är vad man kallar konstsagor, och Tiecks sådana är hemlighetsfulla, vackra, oroande och ibland skrämmande.
