Book Description
Excerpt from English Fairy Tales, Folklore and Legends The stories have yet to be discovered which can compete with folk-lore stories in fascination for the young, and the reason for this it is not hard to divine. The folk-lore tale has had its origin among plain, artless people, in many respects only grown up children, and its survival to our times is simply evidence of these people having regarded it as being too excellent for them to allow it to be lost.

Excerpt from Tales and Legends, Vol. 3 of 3 But it was not so at the shepherd's cottage, at the door of which, on a lovely summer evening, was seen an engaging young girl, who, shading with her hand her sweet hazel eyes from the glare of the setting sun, looked anxiously towards the hills. What can keep them she whispered softly to herself. I'll rin up the brae and see if they are coming; and passing the little brook on the smooth stepping stones, she soon reached the as cent which commanded an extensive View of the surrounding country.

Book Description
Excerpt from Index to Fairy Tales, Myths and Legends The increased use of the story hour in work with children and the ever-widening use of fables and myths in school work have Shown the need of an index which would save time by indicating at a glance the source of an asked - for story. When eight out of ten versions of a myth are given in their respective books under different titles bearing little or no resemblance to the one Sought for, when each new translator or compiler may give an entire set of new titles to old favorites, mechanical aid is necessary to Save reason as well as time. This index includes, besides fairy tales and fables, the stories from Greek and Norse mythology which seemed most likely to be called for, also hero stories and some modern stories like the Leak in the dyke, which are not strictly fairy tale or legend but which are constantly asked for by teachers and story tellers. Since inquiries for stories are mainly by title this is first of all a title index. When the same story appears under various titles, it is indexed under the best known or under the one that seemed most descriptive of the story, and references are made from all the other titles. The title as contained in each particular book, when differing from the one under which it is indexed, is given in parenthesis at the end of the entry. In the case of mythology and hero stories the titles have been inverted, or invented if necessary, in order to bring the entry under the name of the character. When a book con tains a number of stories about the same person but bear ing different titles, a general reference to the book is given; when two only, but not in direct Sequence, the titles are given in parenthesis at the end of the entry. The cross references from one story to another are intended to aid story tellers by suggesting similar stories in case the one wished for is not obtainable. The cross references from subjects - holidays, stars, flowers, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Historical Tales and Legends: Of the Highlands These tales and legends were very favourably received by a Wide circle of readers, and by the Press generally, as they appeared from month to month in the Celtic Magazine. They are now pub lished in a collected form at the request of many who have previously perused them. I would like to present the. Public with the names of their authors; but as one of them - the Norman and Torquil of the Celtic Magazine - objects to have his name made public, although he has written the greater number of them, I must content myself now by taking advantage of this opportunity to thank him.

Excerpt from Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends You are my advisors and officers of state. Deal with affairs as you think best. And Off he would go to his beloved hunting which was his favorite pastime. The land was fertile, and nobody had ever entertained an idea that bad weather might some year affect the crops and cause a scarcity of grain. They took no precautions to lay in stocks of wheat, and so when one summer there was a great lack of rain and the fields were parched, the winter that followed was marked by suffer ing. The kingdom was faced by famine, and the people did not like it. They did not know what to do, and when they appealed to the king, he could not help them. Indeed, he could not understand the difficulty. He passed it off very lightly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
