My Book of Favourite Fairy Tales - Illustrated by Jennie Harbour by Edric Vredenburg Pdf
My Book of Favourite Fairy Tales is a wonderful collection of classic fairy tales such as ‘Cinderella’, ‘Little Snow White’, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘Hansel and Gretel’, ‘Bluebeard’, ‘Thumbelina’, and ‘Beauty and the Beast’. These much-loved stories are accompanied by the magnificent colour and black-and-white illustrations of Jennie Harbour. The narratives were originally edited by Captain Edric Vredenburg, a noted British collector of folklore – and appear in his translation. Vredenburg was a military man as well as an editor at Raphael Tuck and Sons; notable publishers of short stories and fairy tales. They produced many exceptional volumes classic tales, retold for young audiences. Jennie Harbour (1893 – 1950) was an immensely talented and popular illustrator. Despite this, very little is known about her life. She managed to capture the public’s imagination with her delicate and ethereal illustrations. They most commonly featured subtle yet bold washes of colour, with few of the thick black outlines so common in other illustrations of the day. Vibrant colours and Art Deco patterns full of energy and emotion characterise Harbour’s work. The illustrations in My Book of Favourite Fairy Tales are presented alongside with the classic fairy tales – both aspects further refining and elucidating the other. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.

THE FIRST BOOK OF FAIRY TALES - 26 Illustrated Childrens Stories raising funds for the BBC’s CHILDREN IN NEED by Various Pdf
This book has especially been republished to raise funds for the BBC’s Children in Need appeals. This book is compiled of 26 old, rare and forgotten Fairy Tales and stories taken from books in Abela Publishing’s series “Folk-Lore, Fairytales, Myths and Legends from Around the World” - a series created to raise funds for charities and underprivileged individuals. Keeping true to our vision, the intent behind this compendium is to raise funds for BBC’s Children in Need Appeal. The 26 stories and poems in this volume raising funds for the appeal are Tom Tit Tot - English King O'toole And His Goose - Irish The Origin Of Loch Ness - Scottish The Widow And Her Daughters - Scottish Fair, Brown And Trembling - Irish The Perfidious Vizier - Arabian The Frog's Skin – Rep. of Georgia Turtle-Dove, Sage-Cock And The Witch - American Indian A Story About A Giant And The Cause Of Thunder – West Africa The Parrot's Song - Armenian poem The Emperor Tenchi – Japanese poem The Beggar King - Israeli The Foolish, Timid Rabbit – Jataka Tale Cradle Song – Armenian poem The Charmed Ring - India The Thirteenth Son Of The King Of Erin - Celtic The Minister Michi-Nobu Fujiwara – Japanese poem The Monkey’s Fiddle – Kalahari Bushmen The Daughter Of The Rose - Romania The Gypsy And The Dragon – Bukowina Gypsy How The Sacred Duck Got His Yellow Breast - Tibet The Story Of Gelert - Wales Why The Kingfisher Always Wears A War Bonnet – American Indian How Sun, Moon, And Wind Went Out To Dinner - India Twas The Night Before Christmas – Viking Version The Tail - Celtic The words 'Fairy Tales' must be taken to include tales in which something 'fairy', something extraordinary occurs -- fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals. One cannot imagine a child saying, 'Tell me a folk-tale', or 'Another nursery tale, please, grandma'. It must also be taken to cover tales in which something magical happens. Mostly it is the comical stupidity of some of the actors, as is so common in moral tales. In buying this book you will be giving in more than one way. Once to the Children in Need appeal and again, to yourself, as you read and enjoy stories not read for many a year. But should you perchance happen to read these stories to your children, nieces and nephews or grand-children, you will be giving yet again. 50% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to the appeal. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television, or even radio for that matter, when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or an uncle or aunt would delight and captivate their audience with stories passed on to them from their mothers, fathers and grandparents. =============== TAGS: Folklore, fairy tales, myths, legends, children’s stories, bedtime, fables, lore, Children in Need, Appeal, Tom Tit Tot, English, King O'toole, Goose, Ireland, Origin Of Loch Ness, Scotland, Widow, Daughters, Fair, Brown, Trembling, Perfidious Vizier, Arabia, Frog's Skin, Turtle-Dove, Sage-Cock, Witch, Giant, Cause Of Thunder, West Africa, Parrot's Song, Armenia, Emperor Tenchi, Beggar King, Jewish, Foolish, Timid Rabbit, Cradle Song, Charmed Ring, Thirteenth Son, King Of Erin, Celtic, Minister, Fujiwara, Japan, Monkey’s Fiddle, Jataka, Daughter, Rose, Romania, Gypsy, Dragon, Sacred Duck, Yellow Breast, Tibet, Gelert, wales, Kingfisher, War Bonnet, American Indian, Sun, Moon, Wind, Out To Dinner, India, Night Before Christmas, Viking, Tail

POLISH FAIRY TALES - illustrated children's tales from Poland by Anon E. Mouse Pdf
Herein are classic folklore selections from a large collection made by A. J. Glinski in 1862. These fairy tales come from a far and distant past and may even date from primitive Aryan times. They represent the folklore current among the peasantry of the Eastern provinces of Poland, and also in those provinces formerly known as White Russia. In this 148 page volume, with 19 exquisite and beautiful colour plates by Cecile Walton, you will find the stories of: The Frog Princess, Princess Miranda And Prince Hero, The Eagles, The Whirlwind, The Good Ferryman And The Water Nymphs, The Princess Of The Brazen Mountain and The Bear In The Forest Hut. Poland is on the little known “Amber Road”, a trade route that extends from St Petersburg, on the Baltic Sea and goes South through Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Slovenia to Italy on the Mediterranean Sea. As such it is not surprising to find these six exquisite tales embedded in Polish folklore. In olden days not only were goods and amber traded but so were stories and tales. Fairy tales were originally told to teach the young the lessons of life. In olden times it was often necessary to teach that good people had to make a stand against evil, or else evil would rule. Sometimes this meant following a path that paralleled that of the forces of evil – and this had to be learned at a young age. In these tales the defeat of the evil protagonist is always guaranteed. Fairy tales continue to be popular and continue to be used to teach these lessons, for it would seem that the forces of evil have not yet learned from history that Good always wins!

THE FIELD OF CLOVER - Fairy Tales for Children by Laurence Housman Pdf
This book is a collection of fairy tales: “The Bound Princess” (a longer work in six parts), “The Crown’s Warranty,” “The Wishing Pot,” “The Feeding of the Emigrants,” and “The Passionate Puppets.” The Field of Clover is a collaboration between Laurence and Clemence Annie Housman, brother and sister. Laurence wrote the text and drew the original illustrations, which were then engraved by Clemence. Also, the subject matter of the book demonstrates the Victorian fascination with the supernatural and themes of transformation. Women recite spells to turn into flowers; a great worm drinks a boy’s breath through a magical ring. The language is rich and vivid, and the stories themselves often impart moral lessons. The Field of Clover, along with several of Laurence Housman's other works, was collected into a larger volume called Moonshine & Clover by the New York printers Harcourt, Brace, & Company, in 1922 -------------------------- Laurence Housman turned more and more to writing after his eyesight began to fail. His first literary success came with the novel An Englishwoman's Love-letters (1900), published anonymously. He then turned to drama with Bethlehem (1902) and was to become best known and remembered as a playwright. His other dramatic works include Angels and Ministers (1921), Little Plays of St. Francis (1922) and Victoria Regina (1934) which was even staged on Broadway. Housman's play, Pains and Penalties, about Queen Caroline, was produced by Edith Craig and the Pioneer Players. In his time he wrote 10 novels and 25 pieces of short fiction, including fairy tales, 54 plays, 13 volumes of verse and at least 23 pieces of non-Fiction. --------------------------- KEYWORDS/TAGS: Field of Clover, Fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, storyteller, childrens stories, fables, bound princess, fire-eaters, galloping plough, thirsty well, princess melilot, burning rose, camphor worm, crown's warranty, wishing-pot, feeding, emigrants, passionate, puppets, Laurence Housman, Clemence Housman, illustrations, engravings, collaboration, moonshine,
The FIRELIGHT FAIRY BOOK - 13 Fairy Tales from Fairy Goldenwand by Anon E. Mouse Pdf
In about the year 1900, in a pleasant old town by the sea, lived a lad who was very, very fond of fairy tales. When he had read all the fairy-books which his parents and his uncles and his cousins and his sisters and his aunts had been kind enough to give him, he turned to the town library and read every single fairy tale he could find mentioned in the catalogue. But there was an end even to this treasure; and, finally, a day came when the fairy-tale lover could find no new tales to read. Every Christmas he would peek at the new books in the bookshops, only to find the same old stories printed, with new pictures, meant to please grown-ups. What could be the matter? Had the fairies all gone away, or locked the doors of Fairyland? Where, where, where were the new stories, and why, why, why didn't people write them? Some years passed. One pleasant summer day, as the fairy-tale lover sat reading a book beneath the low spreading branches of an oak tree, he heard a hum of wings, and looking up startled from his book, he discovered the Fairy Goldenwand standing close by. "Are you still seeking new fairy tales?" asked the Fairy Goldenwand. "Yes," said the reader. "Will you write them down if I tell you some really new ones?" said the Fairy. "Oh yes, indeed," said the reader. "And I'll put them into a book; and next Saturday Mr. Day, the artist, will come down; we shall have tea here under the oak tree,--do you like hot buttered toast?--and you must tell him all about the fashions in Fairyland." "Oh, that will be fine!" said the Fairy Goldenwand. "I knew you wouldn't mind my appearing so suddenly. Ever so many things have happened in Fairyland since the last books were written, and we all think it's a dreadful shame that children haven't heard about them. Just imagine boys and girls not knowing about the adventures of the Prince in Lantern Land! Shall I tell you the story?" And that's the way the author heard about the Shepherd of Clouds, Florian, Marianna, Giles, Bobo, and all the other new friends. That you may long enjoy their adventures is the wish of. In addition, the 13 illustrations by Maurice E. Day bring an added depth to the stories and to the reader. So, now you know how the stories in this book came to be. The stories that Fairy Goldenwand gave the Fairy Tale Lover are: The Queen Of Lantern Land The Adventures Of Florian The Seller Of Dreams The Treasure Castle Prince Sneeze Marianna The Lost Half-Hour The Enchanted Elm The Bird-Boy The Master Mariner The Marvelous Dog And The Wonderful Cat The Shepherd Of Clouds The City Under The Sea ============== TAGS: Folklore, fairy tales, myths, legends, children’s stories, bedtime, childrens, fables, firelight, camp fire, fireplace, queen, lantern land, adventures, Florian, seller, dreams, treasure, castle, prince sneeze, Marianna, lost, half-hour, enchanted elm, bird-boy, master mariner, marvellous, dog, wonderful cat, shepherd, clouds, city under the sea, Prince, princess, king, queen, journey, caverns, Over hill, over dale, follow, magic ball, dream cost, Peter, golden florin, three rogues, locked, flying room, chest of secrets, black stone, world, yellow bird, dragon's mouth, widest, maiden, watch woodcutter, wood, birthday, gray bird, Splash, fell, sea, lessons, Giles, task, open the door, cloud-bowl, three days, Merchant, pursue, ship, fiery sails
