In initial stage, the committee got bogged down a little because of Report on Philakorea 2014 mis-communication among the parties concerned and started also a little late, By Jin Hur, Rep.of Korea however, it got back on the right direction so soon after a rather short period of confusion. Philakorea 2014 is over. Compared to the And, as usual, lots of philatelists volunteered previous exhibitions held in Korea, its size is to help make new collectors feel at home much reduced, but this event, as the only FIP during their visit and to ensure that they make world exhibition of this year, seems to have the most of what the exhibition has to offer. produced modest results.

  • EXPEDITION GRIMM As the Climax to Year of the Grimms 2013, the Federal State of Hessen Will Present the Exhibition EXPEDITION GRIMM, in the Documenta Hall in Kassel
    PRESS RELEASE EXPEDITION GRIMM As the climax to Year of the Grimms 2013, the Federal State of Hessen will present the exhibition EXPEDITION GRIMM, in the documenta Hall in Kassel. This extensive show will examine the exciting life and diverse work of the two brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are famous around the world, especially for their Children's and Household Tales, which have been translated into roughly 160 languages and which, alongside Luther’s Bible, are among the most commonly translated of German books. But the Brothers Grimm were more than just collectors of fairy tales. They have left behind many traces as philologists, legal historians and politicians; with their German Grammar and German Dictionary they laid the foundations for German philology. To celebrate the Grimm brothers’ huge significance for German cultural history, the Federal State of Hessen has launched this exhibition, EXPEDITION GRIMM. Hessen’s Minister of Science and Art, Eva Kühne-Hörmann, explains the purpose of the show, which she herself proposed: “There are many fascinating connections between the life and works of the Brothers Grimm, and their home country of Hessen. We want to use our exhibition to demonstrate that fact and, above all, to make it clear there’s so much more to the Grimms than just fairy tales.” In three showcases in the documenta Hall in Kassel, EXPEDITION GRIMM displays valuable manuscripts and personal memorabilia of the brothers, and places them in the context of the volatile political circumstances of the time. Works by their artist brother, Ludwig Emil, also show how the Grimm family used to live.

    SEKUNDAR FOUNDED 1962 A MAGAZINE FOR STUDENTS LEARNING GERMAN IN FORMS 1, 2 & 3 ISSUE NUMBER 3 MARCH 2010 A Trip to Fairy-Tale Land in Germany For many centuries Fairy Tales (Märchen) have been of interest to people of all ages. Haven’t you sometimes wished that you could visit the enchanted, fabulous and mysterious places featured in the stories? Well, this is possible in Germany, where one can take a Fairy-Tale tour. You might be asking, why Germany? Well, few people might know that Germany is where it all started. Two German brothers, known as the Grimm Brothers (Brüder Grimm) collected more than 200 fairy tales. Their unique collection of famous fairy tales and legends became world famous and was translated into 160 languages. The Grimm Brothers were born in the city of Hanau, Jakob in 1785 and Wilhelm in 1786 and they spent their happy childhood in Steinau and Kassel. They studied law in Marburg and there they started collecting fairy tales. They later returned to Kassel. Wilhelm and Jakob didn’t have to take to the road themselves to discover the stories. They found people willing to help. One of their helpers was Dorothea Viehmann, an innkeeper’s daughter who was born in the village of Baunate near Kassel. She heard many folk tales and fairy tales recounted by the travelers staying at their inn and shared them with the brothers. The German Fairy-Tale Route stretches over 600km, with 50 towns and cities, from Hanau near Frankfurt to Bremen in the North, passing through the towns and cities where the Brothers Grimm lived and worked, connecting the places and landscapes which were the inspiration for their fairy tales into a route of wonders.

The growing interest in children’s playlore is reflected in this issue of Play and Folklore, with the contents encompassing material from Iceland, UK, New Zealand, Germany, USA and France. We thank all our contributors. There are several book reviews and two reports about major research projects on children’s play from Australian writers who took part in the projects. Play and Folklore has reached its 30th birthday, and both the Melbourne Age newspaper and the national journal Teacher celebrated the occasion with major articles: both featured the mysterious ‘Cat and Mouse’ story from the last issue of our publication. We are also happy to announce the final report for Childhood, Tradition and Change.
