The stories are further enhanced by 8 coloured plates, 22 full-page pen and ink drawings and 21 In Text sketches by H. J. Ford. This book contains many references to fairies. As to whether there are really any fairies or not, is a difficult question. Andrew Lang never saw any himself, but he knew several people who have seen them-in the Highlands - and heard their music. So, if ever you are near Nether Lochaber, go to the Fairy Hill, and you may hear the music your-self, but you must go on a fine day…… TABLE of CONTENTS What the Rose did to the Cypress Ball-Carrier and the Bad One How Ball-Carrier finished his Task The Bunyip Father Grumbler The Story of the Yara The Cunning Hare The Turtle and his Bride How Geirald the Coward was Punished Hábogi How the Little Brother set Free his Big Brothers The Sacred Milk of Koumongoé The Wicked Wolverine The Husband of the Rat’s Daughter The Mermaid and the Boy Pivi and Kabo The Elf Maiden How Some Wild Animals became Tame Ones Fortune and the Wood-Cutter The Enchanted Head The Sister of the Sun The Prince and the Three Fates The Fox and the Lapp Kisa the Cat The Lion and the Cat Which was the Foolishest?

SERBIAN FOLKLORE - 26 Serbian children's folk and fairy tales by Anon E. Mouse Pdf

Herein are 26 folk and fairy tales from the Central European nation of Serbia. IT is only within the last few years that folklore and fairy tales have been dramatised and turned into film for television and the silver screen. Here the popular legends, tales, drolls, and extravagances, which have been handed down from generation to generation among the labourers, peasants and youth of a nation, are being given a new breath of life, and a lot of them originate from Central Europe. Some of the tales in this volume are: The Wonderful Kiosk, The Snake’s Gift, The Golden Apple-Tree, And The Nine Peahens, Papalluga, Good Deeds Are Never Lost, Bird Girl, Sir Peppercorn, Bash-Chalek, The Trade That No One Knows, The Legend Of St. George - plus many more. Settled during the 6th and 7th C following the Slavic migrations, the Kingdom of Serbia was formerly recognised by Rome and the Byzantine Empire in 1217AD. Its capital, Belgrade, ranks among the oldest and largest cities in southeastern Europe. Serbia was annexed by the Ottoman Empire and later the Habsburg Empire. Following WWI Serbia helped co-found Yugoslavia with other South Slavic peoples, which existed in various political formations until the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Under the yolk of communism from the late 1940’s to 1989, many traditional and religious beliefs were suppressed in favour of the communist mantra – but here 26 have been uncovered for you and your children to enjoy. Over the centuries, it is clear that Serbian folklore has had a number of influences which are now indelibly woven into the fabric of the nation and there is no better place to taste the flavours of this rich mix than in the folklore of Serbia. 10% of the net from the sale of this book will be donated to Charities. ====================== KEYWORDS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, cultural, setting, Serbia, Servia, the bear’s son, wonderful kiosk, snake’s gift, language of animals, golden, apple-tree, nine peahens, papalluga, golden slipper, golden fleece, ram, ask little, get much, justice, injustice, satan, juggle, God’s might, wise girl, good deeds, never lost, lying, wager, wicked stepmother, bird girl, sir peppercorn, bash-chalek, true steel, shepherd, king’s daughter, princess, good turn, deserve, another, biter bit, trade, no one knows, three suitors, golden-haired, blonde, twins, dream, king’s son, prince, queen, palace, royal, three brothers, animals, friends, enemies, legend of St. George, dragon

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!

ADVENTURES of the TEENIE WEENIES - 32 adventures of the Teenie Weenie folk by W M Donahey Pdf

Herein are 32 adventures of the Teenie Weenies. While they are small in stature, they have the hearts of heroes. But just who are the Teenie Weenies? The Teenie Weenies are a very tiny, little people and are about half an inch, or just over a centimetre, in height. The older Teenie Weenies are from two and a half to three inches tall ( 6 to 8 cm). Paddy Pinn is the tallest one and he really is a Teenie Weenie giant, for he stands four inches (10cm) in his stocking feet. The little folks are so small that a lead pencil is to them a great log and a clothes pin will keep the tiny fire place burning for some time. A large tea cup would almost hold the entire family and they could go swimming all at once in a wash basin. So, if a piece of cheese goes missing from the fridge, or a reel of cotton should disappear, you now know better than to ask “why.” And, the next time you are in the kitchen making a midnight snack, be sure to TREAD CAREFULLY! Also included are 9 full page colour plates with many, many pen and ink vignettes sprinkled throughout the volume bring the stories to life.
