Description
This vintage book contains Joseph Jacobs' 1916 collection of fairy tales, "European Folk and Fairy Tales", features over two dozen stories taken from popular oral tradition united with John D.
Batten's black and white drawings. Heavily influenced by the Brothers Grimm and the romantic nationalism ubiquitous in his contemporary folklorists, Jacobs was responsible for introducing English fairy tales to English children, who had previously chiefly enjoyed those derived from French and German folklore.
Beautifully illustrated by John D. Batten, these timeless fairy tales make for ideal bedtime reading and are not to be missed by collectors.
Contents include: “Cinder-Maidâ€, “All Changeâ€, “The King of the Fishesâ€, “Scissorsâ€, “Beauty and the Beastâ€, “Reynard and Bruinâ€, “The Dancing Water, Singing Apple, and Speaking Birdâ€, “The Language of Animalsâ€, “The Three Soldiersâ€, “A Dozen at a Bowâ€, and more.
