Legends of the World by Richard Cavendish Pdf

Legends and myths are at the heart of human culture. If we would understand the religion or literature of a people, we must first understand their myths and legends. Sometimes, the myths and legends, as sacred stories, embody the entire religious tradition of a people. Sometimes, as in Judaism and Christianity, the stories are both the origins of the religious tradition and also a later expression of their ethical message and messianic hopes. Now the major myths, legends, and sagas of the world's major cultures have been summarized in a single volume for the first time. The result is a reference work in the form of stories from all parts of the world.

The Emerald Story Book by Ada M. Skinner Pdf

Excerpt from The Emerald Story Book: Stories and Legends of Spring, Nature and Easter There is no richer theme for children's sto ries than the miracle of Spring. The selec tions in The Emerald Story Book aim to serve the young reader's interest in three ways.

Some of the sto ries and poems contribute to the child's store of knowledge by attracting his attention to some fact, beauty, or blessing in nature which may have escaped his notice.

Legend Land: Where Legends Go To Die by Noah Barfield Pdf

The cosmos stands on the precipice of something great, something grand; something terrible. In a secluded forest, a man garbed in black knows this, and does nothing; he does not care. Many find themselves there, in that place where legends go to die; they, like he, are alone. He, unlike they, has had everything ripped from him. In a dark and warm place, there is a woman with hair red as blood, who does nothing; she has no idea how to. She is like everyone else: unknown, in danger, and hopeless; merely another forgotten legend who doesn't even remember herself. This is the story of Mister E, of his triumphs and tribulations. This is the story of Scarlett, of her pain and her joy. This is a tale of dead legends, and of how they are not content to remain forgotten, on the edge of the existence. A great unraveling of the cosmos is about to begin, and these ghosts of myths and fables are about to be swept up in a scheme too large to fathom, but they will not submit peacefully. In "Legend Land," things are not black and white; there are no heroes and villains. It is a murky, grey mess where the lines between "good" and "evil" are thin and barely exist. Follow the story of several long forgotten legends as they rediscover what it means to be human, to feel, in a world where having a conscience or dropping your guard can earn you permanent erasure from the fabric of reality. Follow these characters as they decide when to become the hero, or embrace being a villain; as they decide where to draw the line, and when to obliterate it completely.

The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends by Simon Young Pdf

In the last fifty years, folklorists have amassed an extraordinary corpus of contemporary legends including the “Choking Doberman,” the “Eaten Ticket,” and the “Vanishing Hitchhiker.” But what about the urban legends of the past? These legends and tales have rarely been collected, and when they occasionally appear, they do so as ancestors or precursors of the urban legends of today, rather than as stories in their own right. In The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends, Simon Young fills this gap for British folklore (and for the wider English-speaking world) of the 1800s. Young introduces seventy Victorian urban legends ranging from “Beetle Eyes” to the “Shoplifter’s Dilemma” and from “Hands in the Muff” to the “Suicide Club.” While a handful of these stories are already known, the vast majority have never been identified, and they have certainly never received scholarly treatment. Young begins the volume with a lengthy introduction assessing nineteenth-century media, emphasizing the importance of the written word to the perpetuation and preservation of these myths. He draws on numerous nineteenth-century books, periodicals, and ephemera, including digitized newspaper archives—particularly the British Newspaper Archive, an exciting new hunting ground for folklorists. The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends will appeal to an academic audience as well as to anyone who is interested in urban legends.
