Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europa's Fairy Book But while I have attempted thus to restore the original substance of the European F olk-tales, I have ever had in mind that the particular form in which they are to appear is to attract English speaking children. I have, therefore, utilized the experience I had some years ago in collecting and retelling the Fairy Tales of the English F olk-lore field (english Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales), in order to tell these new tales in the way which English-speaking children have abundantly shown they enjoy. In other words, while the plot and incidents are common form throughout Europe, the manner in which I have told the stories is, so far as I have been able to imitate it, that of the English story-teller.

"There was a most lovely lady with a dress like the heavens and shoes of bright copper, and the Prince would dance with none but her; and when midnight came she disappeared and the Prince could not find her. He is going to give a second ball in the hope that she will come again. Perhaps she will not, and then we will have our chance." When the time of the second Royal Ball came round the same thing happened as before; the sisters teased Cinder-Maid saying, "Wouldn't you like to come with us?" and drove off again as before. And Cinder-Maid went again to the hazel tree over her mother's grave and cried: "Tree o'mine, O tree o'me, Shiver and shake, dear little tree Make me a lady fair to see, Dress me as splendid as can be."

Book excerpt: ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 407 In this 407th issue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Fairy Tale "Oh If I Could But Shiver?. A long time ago a father had two sons ? the elder was clever and the younger stupid. Sometimes of an evening, tales were told by the fireside which made one shudder, and the listeners exclaimed, "Oh, it makes us shiver!" The younger son could never understand this saying for he had never shivered. Then the time came for the youth to learn a trade. The father confided to the parish sexton[1] who said he could teach him how to shiver and to send him over to his place. Working for the sexton, he faithfully undertook the duties assigned to him. One night he was awoken late into the night and told to go and rung the church bell. On arriving in the belfry he was about to ring the bell when a white figure appeared. The boy called out to the ghostly figure who simply stood and stared. After the incident things began to happen? But what happened next you ask?? Well many things happened, some silly and funny; and some serious. And did I hear tell of a Princess as well? To find the answers to these questions, and others you may have, you will have to download and read this story to find out!

Download or read book A Companion to the Fairy Tale written by Hilda Roderick Ellis Davidson and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2003 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction by Derek Brewer.The aim of this book is to discuss the characteristics of the traditional fairy tale in Europe and North America, and various theories of its development and interpretation. The book deals with the main collections - the Grimm brothers, Hans Andersen, Perrault and Afanes'ev - and with the development of tales in various regions of Europe, including Ireland, Wales, Scandinavia, Germany and Russia, as well as India, where it was once claimed that they originated.The subject of the fairy tale is a controversial one: problems discussed here include the relationship between tales recorded from story-tellers and literary works, the importance of printed works for the spread of the tales, the growth of recent examples with a feminine approach, the spread of popular tales like Cinderella, special types like the cumulative tales, possible effects of TV, and the nature of traditional plots and characters. Above all, we have been concerned with the distribution and long survival of these tales, and the nature of their appeal. SHORTLISTED FOR THE KATHARINE BRIGGS FOLKLORE AWARD 2004.
