Summary
Over one hundred popular English folktales and rhymes are brought together for young people
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âEnglish Fairy Talesâ is a collection of 43 traditional stories that recount the adventures of giants, witches, princes, princesses, and animals. These are real fairy tales and not watered down tales with a happy ending. Though not politically correct in every way, âEnglish Fairy Talesâ is true to the spirit of childrenâs stories. Along with the classics (e.g. Jack the Giant Killer and Tom Thumb) there are lesser-known tales full of real suspense, action, ghosts, magic, really wicked stepmothers, love lost, imps, and fairies. And no guns. English Fairy Tales provides the little stressors that Disney doesn't, so that the effect is genuine - real anxiety, and real relief at the point of resolution. You can never be sure that there will be a wedding at the end of any story. This book also has beautiful word-play and rhythm. A real keeper!
