| Summary | "Stories of the Nibelungen for Young People" by Gertrude R. Schottenfels is a collection of retold legends and myths originally derived from the Germanic epic, "The Nibelungenlied." It was published in the early 20th century and serves as an introduction for younger audiences to the age-old tales surrounding heroic figures such as Siegfried, Brunhilda, and Kriemhild. The book centers on themes of bravery, betrayal, love, and revenge, encapsulating the adventures and tragic events surrounding these legendary characters. The narrative begins with the tale of Young Siegfried, who embarks on a quest for glory and adventure, eventually confronting a fearsome dragon and acquiring magical treasures. As the story unfolds, it introduces various characters, including the enigmatic Mimi and the noble Brunhilda. The plots weave through Siegfried's epic battles and his ill-fated romances, leading to the ultimate tragedy of Kriemhild seeking vengeance for Siegfried's death and the subsequent devastation that follows. Each chapter builds upon the characters' intricate relationships, revealing how their destinies are interwoven in a rich tapestry of conflict and sacrifice.
