Summary
Edited by Logan Marshall and first published in Philadelphia by the John C. Winston Company in 1910, this large anthology gathers well-known fairy tales and folk stories from many countries. Its subtitle promises famous stories from English, German, French, Italian, Arabic, Russian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Bohemian, Japanese and other sources, and the collection opens with the English tale of Jack the Giant Killer, set in Cornwall in the days of King Arthur. Readers will find old favourites from the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault and the Arabian Nights beside stories that were less familiar to American children at the time, all retold in plain, lively English for reading aloud. Marshall compiled a number of popular books for the Winston company in the 1910s, and this volume, with its wide international range, was one of the most enduring.
