Book excerpt: English EditionThis is a publication of Floricanto Press. www.FloricantoPress.comFact or Fiction? This tale indeed contains as many fantastic and magical elements as all good fairy tales must. I would like readers of all ages to consider the notion that fairy tales may be partially true. While I doubt that a cake would run out of the house, I still like to think that many things in life are as unpredictable as they are inexplicable and the magic of the unexplainable opens the door to a world of enchanting possibilities for those that choose to believe.AND THE MORAL OF THIS TALE is: That people should never be too uplifted or too cast down over anything, for all the good folk in the story thought they were going to get the bannock, and, lo and behold! The fox got it after all.This is favorite story from a series of traditional Scottish fairy tales heard at a particularly good children's storytelling sessions near the magnificent Stirling Castle in Scotland. This old story is full of authentic language and scenes of the lives of the hardworking rural folk of the beautiful Scottish countryside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the darksome depths of a thick forest lived Kalyb the fell enchantress. Terrible were her deeds, and few there were who had the hardihood to sound the brazen trumpet which hung over the iron gate that barred the way to the Abode of Witchcraft. Terrible were the deeds of Kalyb; but above all things she delighted in carrying off innocent new-born babes, and putting them to death. And this, doubtless, she meant to be the fate of the infant son of the Earl of Coventry, who long long years ago was Lord High Steward of England. Certain it is that the babe's father being absent, and his mother dying at his birth, the wicked Kalyb, with spells and charms, managed to steal the child from his careless nurses. But the babe was marked from the first for doughty deeds; for on his breast was pictured the living image of a dragon, on his right hand was a blood-red cross, and on his left leg showed the golden garter. And these signs so affected Kalyb, the fell enchantress, that she stayed her hand; and the child growing daily in beauty and stature, he became to her as the apple of her eye. Now, when twice seven years had passed the boy began to thirst for honourable adventures, though the wicked enchantress wished to keep him as her own.

This book was released on 2002-06-19 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first compilation of the full first-edition texts of the classic fairy tale collections by Joseph Jacobs, with Jacobs' original prefaces and annotations. In these two classic collections, first published in 1890 and 1894, Joseph Jacobs combined folklore, children's literature, and the eclectic scholarship of the Victorian era to create a storehouse of tales that inhabited the imaginations of children and adults for generations. Here readers first met Tom Tit Tot, Molly Whuppie, and Jack the Giant-Killer, and first read the stories of the Three Little Pigs, the Three Bears, and Henny-Penny. Jacobs' daring collections challenged conventional thinking about the meaning of "folk," the individual artistry behind folktales, and the boundaries between folklore and literature, anticipating modern developments in folklore studies. His original editions of these 87 classic tales, along with the original illustrations, are reprinted in this new volume, offering readers an unsurpassed understanding of the development of the classic fairy tale in late Victorian England.
