Tarnkappe ДЄlthough occurrences in fairy tales are rare, the cloak of invisibility appears in the German tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses (KHM 133) and in The King of the Golden Mountain (KHM 92) in Grimm's Fairy Tales.

In the folktale of the 'Peach Boy' MomotarЕЌ, one of the treasures the hero collects from the ogres is a cape of invisibility, paralleling the story of Jack the giant-slayer. The counterpart in Japan is the kakuremino ( йљ г‚Њи“‘), a magical 'straw cape' or 'raincoat' of invisibility. Iona and Peter Opie observe in The Classic Fairy Tales (1974), that Jack's coat may have been borrowed from the Tale of Tom Thumb or from Norse mythology, but they also draw comparisons with the Celtic stories of the Mabinogion. In the English fairy tale Jack the Giant Killer, the hero is rewarded with several magical gifts by a giant he has spared, among them a coat of invisibility.

A similar mantle appears in the Second Branch of the Mabinogi, in which it is used by Caswallawn to assassinate the seven stewards left behind by Bran the Blessed and usurp the throne. The mantle is described again, and in more detail, in the Breuddwyd Rhonabwy, and is later listed as one of the Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain. Such cloaks are common in Welsh mythology a 'Mantle of Invisibility' is described in the tale Culhwch and Olwen (c.В 1100) as one of King Arthur's most prized possessions. Cloaks of invisibility are magical items found in folklore and fairy tales.
