About the author
Born on February 7, 1887, in Freiburg im Breisgau, Klara Agnes Stroebe was a German anthologist and translator remembered for her work with fairy tales and folklore. Library and catalog records consistently identify her as Klara Stroebe, and some English-language editions also appeared under the form "Clara Stroebe."
She is especially associated with collections such as The Norwegian Fairy Book and other volumes devoted to Scandinavian storytelling. Her work focused on selecting, shaping, and presenting traditional tales for new readers, helping preserve and popularize Nordic folk literature beyond its original languages.
Stroebe died on October 16, 1932. A suitable verified portrait image was not clearly available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included here.
