Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonderful Tales From Denmark Xtions, the beautiful thoughts, the quaint drollery, and the kindly feeling to be found throughout. For these stories though, it is true, not all strictly speaking fairy-tales, yet seem to me to come from Fairy-land; for they have the strange witchery about them that when a child reads he sees just such pictures as delight his young fancy; and when a grown-up' person takes them in his hand he is equally delighted, though he sees them quite differently to the child, for to him there are hidden meanings and deep wisdom in what appears to some a mere childish tale. It may seem very magical for a thing to appear quite dif ferent to two persons at the same time, and yet remain unchanged; but so it is. As a proof of this, the lady to whom I have taken the liberty' of dedicating my little book wrote to me some time ago I look forward with great interest to the publication of that charming book, which I shall enjoy quite as much as if I were one of your legitimate readers of eight years old, instead of fifty-eight next Tuesday: so you see that not only the school-boy but one whose genius has delighted thousands, can read them with enjoyment. However, I suppose this is because the good and the gentle-natured, be their age what it may, are all children in heart; taking delight in the same simple things, and moved like most of yourselves by the expression of natural feeling. At Copenhagen, too, these tales are read in the theatre to the audi ence between the acts; so great and so general is the interest they excite.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Danish Fairy Tales There are, naturally, these stock features. But there is something rarer that stamps these tales with an originality that seems to individualize them. This quality, may, perhaps, be found in the tender ness and poetic atmosphere of the Green Knight; in the naivete of Peter Ox and the pessimistic moralizing of Good Deeds; in the humorous expres sion of the very human satisfaction of outwitting another, in The Treasure; as well as in the charm of The Pleiades, with its quaint naming, or rather, no-naming of the sons, and with its beautiful ending. One may even imagine here a happy linking of their fairyland wonders with those of our own day. For the ship that can go over land and sea, that can propel itself, - does it not suggest our modern wonder.

Download or read book Danish Fairy Tales written by Svendt Grundtvig and published by . This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Danish folk-tales were originally collected by Svendt Grundtvig, a Danish professor and philologist (1824-1883). He found that throughout all the country districts, men and women were telling stories and reciting ballads that they had learned from their grandmothers, who, in their turn, had heard them from crooners of old songs, and tellers of old tales. Professor Grundtvig realized that these echoes of an earlier time were precious; that, if they were not perpetuated in written form, they would be lost. It was a labor of love on his part to collect these tales; a labor that lasted over twenty years, and that enlisted the aid of many of his countrymen. Grundtvig says that he has kept the simplicity and artlessness of the oral tradition; and that, in the case of varying versions from different parts of the country, he has taken the purer and more complete form, but has always preserved the epic unity.The translator of these tales spent a part of his boyhood in Denmark, where his father was United States Minister. There he heard many of these stories, which were told him by a manservant who came from Jutland. Jensen had not read any of these tales; but they, with many others, were stored in his memory. He had always known them, he said.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Danish Story Book Let us pay a visit to Switzerland. Let us look around us in that magnificent mountainous country, where the woods creep up the sides of the precipitous walls of rock; let us ascend to the dazzling snow-fields above, and descend again to the green valleys beneath, where the rivers and the brooks foam along as if they were afraid that they should not fast enough reach the ocean and be lost in its immensity. The sun's burning rays shine on the deep dales; and they also shine upon the heavy masses of snow above, so that the ice-blocks which have been accumulating for years melt and become rolling avalanches, piled-up glaciers. Two such lie in the broad mountain clefts under Schreckhorn and Wetterhorn, near the little mountain town of Grindelwald.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Danish Fairy Book These fairy-tales of the Danish North are the simple and direct narratives of the fishermen, peas ants, seamen, huntsmen, shepherds, smiths and humble toilers of the land of Hans Andersen, faith fully presented in the traditional forms handed down from father to son through the centuries. They have the beauty and the charm of all that the fancy of a primitive people invents to express its longing for color and radiance to illumine the dull grayness of everyday life. Out of a wealth of available ma terial stories of the most diverse nature have been chosen; stories in which the hero awakens the in stant sympathy of the reader, either by noble self sacrifice, as in Silyerwhj'te and Lillwacker, or by brave persistence, Princess on the Glass Mountain, or b r good luck, as in Lasso, My Thrall. Again we ghzayn tales of the Trolls; folk tales, like th'e thrilling Charcoal Nils and the Troll Woman, or ghost-stories with a happy ending, such as Torre J eppe; for the clouds of a reader of fairy-tales must have their silver lin ings. There are tales in which the Evil One de servedly plays the part of a loser, and many more. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fairy Tales From Hans Andersen Among such no name has higher honour than that of Hans Christian Andersen, some outline of whose life, a lovely story, happy and full of incident, as he speaks of it in his delightful, ingenuous autobiography, may fitly preface this selection from his masterpieces. He was born on April 2, 1805, at Odense (so-called as a traditional dwelling-place of Odin - some said that the god had been burgomaster there I), a town on the island of Punen, in Denmark. His parents were poor folk, and his education was so imperfect that up to his eighteenth year he could neither spell correctly nor write grammatically. His father, compelled by family misfortunes to take to shoemaking, was a man of dreamy type, withal a lover of books and of nature. He lived for me, says Andersen, making the little fellow the companion of his rambles, and feasting him on such reading as the slender shelves afforded, chiefly that of the plays of Holberg, a great writer of comedy, and the Arabian Nzg/its. When Hans was eleven years old. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
