Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of traditional English tales about legendary people and events, fairies, giants, witches, goblins, and ghosts. The editor defines a "Saga" as a "traditional narrative which is believed to be true, and which relates to some definite human person... or to some definite locality, or to the power and deeds of some deity or supernatural being or race of beings." A Nursery Tale, or Märchen is not believed to be true and its end is fortunate: Jack "must" escape the giant. A "Droll" is just that: Droll.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Fairy and Folk Tales When the bell-ringing was over there were more stars in the darkening sky, and presently the moon rose, large and red, from behind the wood in which the rooks were sleeping. A bend of the river was alight directly. All was so still that Teel heard now and then the faint creak of the insects stirring in the bushes Of the common, and the whirr of the night-moth as she flew by. Heigho he sighed. I get nothing by this thinking, so I will go home to my good dame. He was about to rise, when a young rabbit leapt into his lap. The rabbit tamely suffered him to pull its ears. Silly puss! Said the shoemaker; when you jump into the lap of a man who has an empty cupboard, don't you know that you are good to eat? But never fear, small creature. AS you trust me, you shall take no harm.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Fairy and Other Folk Tales The following collection of English Folk Tales docs not pretend to be more than a presentation, in a more or less literary form, of a few of the traditional stories, formerly no doubt rife in this country, but now fast disappearing under the stress of modem life. The reader will of course miss many of those with which he has always been familiar - many for which the term Fairy Tale has always seemed to him to have a special connotation. One of the reasons for this is that several of such tales are not of true native growth, but were introduced from France by means of the chap-book translations to which I shall have occasion to refer presently. Another reason is to be found in the complaint recently made by a distinguished writer that a good version of his old favourite, Jack the Giant-Killer, was hard to procure. I have indeed ventured to include a version of this particular tale, though it can by no means be denied that time and circumstances have dealt hardly with it, as with many like it.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: The first compilation of the full first-edition texts of the classic fairy tale collections by Joseph Jacobs, with Jacobs' original prefaces and annotations. In these two classic collections, first published in 1890 and 1894, Joseph Jacobs combined folklore, children's literature, and the eclectic scholarship of the Victorian era to create a storehouse of tales that inhabited the imaginations of children and adults for generations. Here readers first met Tom Tit Tot, Molly Whuppie, and Jack the Giant-Killer, and first read the stories of the Three Little Pigs, the Three Bears, and Henny-Penny. Jacobs' daring collections challenged conventional thinking about the meaning of "folk," the individual artistry behind folktales, and the boundaries between folklore and literature, anticipating modern developments in folklore studies. His original editions of these 87 classic tales, along with the original illustrations, are reprinted in this new volume, offering readers an unsurpassed understanding of the development of the classic fairy tale in late Victorian England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning collection of English folklore featuring stories of beasts, giants, ghosts, saints, and the Devil, as well as moral tales and tales of origins. Master storyteller, social historian, and folklorist Sybil Marshall scoured English history to bring together a fascinating collection of folk tales in one glorious edition. Out-of-print for over thirty years, Overlook is re-issuing this bewitching book to enchant a new audience. From the great mass of folk tales that exists, Sybil Marshall has chosen a wide variety of stories, retelling them with wit and suspense. We have her tales of the little people and of giants, of the Devil and the saints, and supernatural and moral tales. Let Sybil Marshall lead you through the old English countryside, exploring the beliefs and legends of time gone by. This beautiful edition, complete with wood engraved illustrations by John Lawrence, will entertain, educate, and ensnare audiences of all ages. “A compilation of vivid, sometimes fearsome stories . . . The England we visit here has no afternoon teas or jolly rounds of cricket on lovely green lawns. In these pages, the sophisticated reader steps onto older, darker soil half-soaked in blood, superstition, and magic. . . . Wood engravings by John Lawrence deepen our sense of the blackened accretion of centuries in this fascinating collection.” —Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Wall Street Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs A word or two as to our title seems necessary. We have called our stories Fairy Tales though few of them speak of fairies. The same remark applies to the collection of the Brothers Grimm and to all the other European collections, which contain exactly the same classes of tales as ours. Yet our stories are what the little ones mean when they clamour for "Fairy Tales," and this is the only name which they give to them. One cannot imagine a child saying, "Tell us a folk-tale, nurse," or "Another nursery tale, please, grandma." As our book is intended for the little ones, we have indicated its contents by the name they use. The words "Fairy Tales" must accordingly be taken to include tales in which occurs something "fairy," something extraordinary--fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals. It must be taken also to cover tales in which what is extraordinary is the stupidity of some of the actors. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
