Dear Ingrid, see also last Saturday's Guardian for an article about the real-life prototype for Truffaut's "Jules et Jim" who was fascinated by red-haired English women as his hero, the poet Laforgue, had just such a girlfriend apparently. I've a feeling the "witch" in Eveline Hasler's novel (whose title escapes me.. Anna ??) is redhaired. Sorry to be so vague, I can chase these up if you haven't got them already. The heroine in Gotthelf's Schwarze Spinne may be similarly endowed, it's a long time since I taught (or read!) it...
