The Enchanted Wreath

The Enchanted Wreath is a Scandinavian fairy tale, collected in Benjamin Thorpe in his Yule-Tide Stories: A Collection of Scandinavian and North German Popular Tales and Traditions. Andrew Lang adapted a variant of it for The Orange Fairy Book.

It is classified in the international Aarne-Thompson index as ATU 480, "The Kind and the Unkind Girls", and segues into type 403B, "The Black and The White Bride", in that the heroine is replaced by a female relative in order to trick her husband.
