author
Best known for collecting folk stories from the Alpine region, this little-known writer left behind a single notable book: a lively gathering of Tyrolean tales and legends. The surviving record is sparse, which only adds to the old-world mystery around her work.

by countess Marie A. Günther
Project Gutenberg lists Marie A. Günther, countess as the author of Tales and Legends of the Tyrol, and the available public record in this search centers almost entirely on that book.
From that title, she appears to have been interested in preserving regional storytelling from Tyrol, bringing together legends shaped by mountain villages, local history, and folklore. Because reliable biographical information was not readily available in the sources found here, it is best to treat her as a little-documented author whose reputation rests on this collection rather than on a well-recorded personal life.
