Hesse's "Fairy Tales" (Märchen in German) was first published in Berlin in 1919. It is significant for offering a more mythical and fantastical expression of Hesse's philosophical ideas. The tales reflect Hesse's own lifelong interest in Eastern thought and spiritual exploration. Hesse dedicated a fairy tale to each of his three wives: to his first wife, Mia, the fairy tale Iris (1916); to Ruth Wenger, Pictor's Metamorphoses (1922); and, shortly after his marriage to Ninon Dolbin in March 1933, his last and very autobiographical fairy tale, Vogel.
