Dark German Fairy Tales with Viktor Wynd – LIVE
– ‘a most disarming & feline storyteller’ Dame Marina Warner
Join master storyteller, and author of Dark Fairy Tales, Viktor Wynd in the heart of the fairy tale world of his museum for a complimentary drink and listen to him telling tales. Be warned these are not the Ladybird or Disney versions and may not be suitable for the tenderist ears.
Germany is home to some of the world’s Grimmest fairy tales – children are decapitated, Imps are horrible, magical birds sing and flee from Warlocks, Princesses are seduced and spirited away, witches use magical ointments to get their wicked ways, animals change into people and back again whilst dwarfs lurk underground.
Viktor Wynd, proprietor of London’s eponymous (nay infamous) Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History has spent the last twenty five years telling stories to audiences across the globe. Fascinated by traditional fairy tales his repertoire includes tales from The Brothers Grimm, The Arabian Nights, Scandinavia, Russia, Italy, France, Ireland, Africa, Papua New Guinea & North America – so far – his anthology ‘Dark Fairy Tales’ was published by Prestel RANDOMHOUSE in autumn 2025 – signed copies available here
