This is a golden treasury of over one hundred English folktales captured in the form they were first collected in past centuries. Read these classic tales as they would have been told when storytelling was a living art ? when the audience believed in boggarts and hobgoblins, local witches and will-o?-the-wisps, ghosts and giants, cunning foxes and royal frogs. Find âJack the Giantkillerâ, âTom Tit Totâ and other quintessentially English favourites, alongside interesting borrowings, such as an English version of the Grimms? âLittle Snow Whiteâ ? as well as bedtime frighteners, including âCaptain Murdererâ, as told to Charles Dickens by his childhood nurse. Neil Philip has provided a full introduction and source notes on each story that illustrate each tale?s journey from mouth to page, and what has happened to them on the way. These tales rank among the finest English short stories of all time in their richness of metaphor and plot and their great verbal dash and daring. 650 0 $a Folklore $z England. 700 1 $a Gaiman, Neil, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20231101010104.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20221025012448.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6C806F86542A11ED8B3B8C862AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
