Note: Second of Hauff's three annual Märchen cycles. Series numbering is from the unnumbered sequence of listings at German Wikipedia, as contents of "Märchen-Almanach auf das Jahr 1827 für Söhne und Töchter gebildeter Stände" (1826), in the Wilhelm Hauff list of works (not the second "Märchen-Almanach" article, linked above). The frame story, number 0 in the ISFDB series, is not listed (2020-03-15) and four of eight listings credit writers other than Hauff: • [3] Der arme Stephan (von Gustav Adolf Schöll) [Adolf Schöll, 1805–1882] • [4] Der gebackene Kopf (von James Justinian Morier) [The Story of the Baked Head] • [6] Das Fest der Unterirdischen (von Wilhelm Grimm) • [7] Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot (von Wilhelm Grimm) The fifth story, "Der junge Engländer" at ISFDB as of March 2020, is listed as Der Affe als Mensch or Der Affe als Mensch (Der junge Engländer). From the Encyclopedia of Fantasy biographical entry by John Clute (brackets original, emphasis added): Hauff "wrote three cycles of literary Fairytales – "Die Karavane" ["The Caravan"], "Der Scheik von Allesandria und seine Sklaven" ["The Sheikh of Alexandria and his Slaves"] and "Das Wirthshaus im Spessart" ["The Inn in the Spessart"] – published in three Märchenalmanache (anth 1826; anth 1827; anth 1828), selections from which have been variously translated as ...". (Clute lists 7 UK and US collections, 1840s to 1905.) "Many of the tales are in an Arabian Nights mode (see Arabian Fantasy); Transformations proliferate, sometimes very frighteningly."
