"The Valiant Little Tailor"

""The Brave Little Tailor" or "The Valiant Little Tailor" or "The Gallant Tailor" (German: Das tapfere Schneiderlein) is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm (KHM 20). "The Brave Little Tailor" is a story of Aarne–Thompson Type 1640, with individual episodes classified in other story types.

Andrew Lang included it in The Blue Fairy Book. The tale was translated as Seven at One Blow. Another of many versions of the tale appears in A Book of Giants by Ruth Manning-Sanders.

It is about a humble tailor who tricks many giants and a ruthless king into believing in the tailor´s incredible feats of strength and bravery, leading to him winning wealth and power." - (en.wikipedia.org 14.02.2021)
