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...
