Фридрих де ла Мотт Фуке4.3 Литературный успех немецкого писателя-романтика Фридриха де ла Мотт Фуке - вполне значимой фигуры в Германии 1810-х годов - оказался кратковременным. Единственным произведением этого «излишне плодовитого», по словам его современника Людвига Тика, литератора, выдержавшим проверку временем, стала сказочная повесть УНДИНА. Но в России и с ней Фуке не повезло: блестящий стихотворный перевод Василия Андреевича Жуковского полностью затмил фигуру немецкого автора. С тех пор полтора столетия историю о влюблённой русалке в России даже не пытались переводить. Именно «романтическая сказка Жуковского» в начале XX века публиковалась с цветными иллюстрациями английского художника Артура Рэкхема, изначально созданными к повести Фуке.
Прозаический перевод УНДИНЫ был сделан уже в XX веке филологом-германистом, исследователем литературы XVII-XVIII столетий Ниной Александровной Жирмунской.

Эллис Кредл0.0 Hetty and Hank live in a small cabin in the mountains and although cozy, they are poor and have never owned a pair of shoes. "They each wanted a beautiful shining pair that sang, 'Creaky-squeaky-creaky-squeaky,' every time they walked."
