Book Synopsis CZECHOSLOVAK FAIRY TALES by : Various
Download or read book CZECHOSLOVAK FAIRY TALES written by Various and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS is a second volume of 15 Czech, Slovak and Moravian folk tales, fairy tales and childrens stories retold in English by Parker Fillmore, with excellent illustrations and decorations by Jan Matulka. Herein you will find stories like LONGSHANKS, GIRTH, AND KEEN, THE THREE GOLDEN HAIRS, THE FLAMING HORSE, THE THREE CITRONS and many others. These tales have been drawn from original Slavic sources, and were chosen for their variety of subject and range of interest. These are tales conceived with all the gorgeousness of the Slavic imagination; charming little nursery tales that might be told in nurseries the world over; folk tales illustrative of the wit of a canny people as surprising to the Anglo-Saxon imagination as they are entertaining. This rendering of some of the old Czechoslovak tales is not offered as a literal translation or a scholarly translation but have been retold in a way that the translator hoped would please children in the West. He has endeavoured to retain the flavor of the originals but has taken the liberty of a short cut here and an elaboration there wherever these have seemed to me to make the English version clearer and more interesting. 33% of the publishers net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities.

Unlike stories from the Grimm brothers, here are fairy tales conceived with all the gorgeousness of the Slavic imagination; charming little nursery tales that might be told in nurseries the world over; folk tales illustrative of the wit of a canny people; and rollicking devil tales as surprising to the Anglo-Saxon imagination as they are entertaining. They are not in any sense academic translations, but vivid renditions by a man who, besides being a student of folklore, was an accomplished story-teller in his own right. The stories are further embellished by Jan Matulka’s exquisite illustrations which capture the essence of the region’s culture. Added to this Matulka commences each story with a vignette which have a distinct Picasso-esque style to them. So, get yourself a warm drink, snuggle in to a comfy chair and sit back and enjoy folklore and tales from the Heart of Europe.
Book Synopsis Czechoslovak Fairy Tales by : Parker Fillmore
Download or read book Czechoslovak Fairy Tales written by Parker Fillmore and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rendering of some of the old Czechoslovak tales is not offered as a literal translation or a scholarly translation. I have retold the stories in a way that I hope will please American children. I have tried hard to keep the flavor of the originals but have taken the liberty of a short cut here and an elaboration there wherever these have seemed to me to make the English version clearer and more interesting. I have gone to Czech, Slovakian, and Moravian sources. All these stories appear in many versions in the different folklore collections made by such native writers as Erben, Nemcova, Dobsinsky, Rimavsky, Benes-Trebizsky, Kulda. They represent the folktale in all stages of its development from the bald narrative of The Bird with the Golden Gizzard which Kulda reports with phonographic exactness, to Nemcova's more elaborate tale, Prince Bayaya, which is really a mosaic of two or three simpler stories. I have included Katcha and the Devil for the sake of its keen humor, which is particularly Czech in character; The Betrothal Gifts to show how a story common to other countries is made most charmingly local by giving it a local background; The Three Golden Hairs to contrast it with a famous German variant which it seems to me is much inferior to the Slavic version; and several fine stories of the prince gone off on adventures which in common with the folktales of all Europe show a strong Oriental influence.

Book Synopsis Folktales and Fairy Tales [4 volumes] by : Anne E. Duggan Ph.D.
Download or read book Folktales and Fairy Tales [4 volumes] written by Anne E. Duggan Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 2815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encyclopedic in its coverage, this one-of-a-kind reference is ideal for students, scholars, and others who need reliable, up-to-date information on folk and fairy tales, past and present. Folktales and fairy tales have long played an important role in cultures around the world. They pass customs and lore from generation to generation, provide insights into the peoples who created them, and offer inspiration to creative artists working in media that now include television, film, manga, photography, and computer games. This second, expanded edition of an award-winning reference will help students and teachers as well as storytellers, writers, and creative artists delve into this enchanting world and keep pace with its past and its many new facets. Alphabetically organized and global in scope, the work is the only multivolume reference in English to offer encyclopedic coverage of this subject matter. The four-volume collection covers national, cultural, regional, and linguistic traditions from around the world as well as motifs, themes, characters, and tale types. Writers and illustrators are included as are filmmakers and composers—and, of course, the tales themselves. The expert entries within volumes 1 through 3 are based on the latest research and developments while the contents of volume 4 comprises tales and texts. While most books either present readers with tales from certain countries or cultures or with thematic entries, this encyclopedia stands alone in that it does both, making it a truly unique, one-stop resource.

Book Synopsis FAIRY TALES OF THE SLAV PEASANTS AND HERDSMEN -20 illustrated Slavic tales by : Anon E. Mouse
Download or read book FAIRY TALES OF THE SLAV PEASANTS AND HERDSMEN -20 illustrated Slavic tales written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in French, Fairy Tales of the Slav Peasants and Herdsmen features 20 folk tales from the Slavic countries and territories. Very few of the 20 fairy tales included in this volume have been presented before in an English dress; this will doubtless enhance their value in the eyes of the young folk, for whom, principally, they are intended. Herein you will find tales like The Twelve Months - the story of Marouckla, who is set seemingly impossible tasks by her stepmother, but with the help of the Twelve Months overcomes and succeeds. The Lost Child – the story of a childless Noble couple who pray earnestly for a child. Their wish is granted with one condition – that that the child’s feet never touched the earth until it was twelve years old…… Then you have the stories of The Sovereign of the Mineral Kingdom, Ohnivak, Tears of Pearls, Kinkach Martinko and many more. The Slav race is considerably diverse, both genetically and culturally. Famous Slavs in recent times are Pope John Paul II, the first human astronaut Yuri Gagarin, former President of Russia Mikhail Gorbachev and electrician/inventor Nikola Tesla. In earlier times Slavic groups also migrated as far North as Scandinavia, and constituted elements amongst the Vikings; whilst at the other geographic extreme, Slavic mercenaries fighting for the Byzantines and Arabs settled Asia Minor and even as far East as Syria. Fairy Tales of the Slav Peasants and Herdsmen was a French collection of the beloved fairy tales passed from generation to generation, and the stories were collected for preservation by Chodzko. Emily Harding, also known as Emily Harding Andrews, published her English translation in 1896, Harding was an illustrator for the woman’s suffrage movement, and frequent illustrator of children’s books. Fairy Tales of the Slav Peasants and Herdsmen was the first book she had translated and published under her own name. The accompanying 55 illustrations and headpieces speak for themselves, and are what might have been expected from the artist of her calibre. So sit back in a comfy chair with a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy these forgotten tales, lost to Western readers for over 100 years.

Book Synopsis FOLK-LORE AND LEGENDS OF SCANDINAVIA - 28 Northern Myths and Legends by : Anon E. Mouse
Download or read book FOLK-LORE AND LEGENDS OF SCANDINAVIA - 28 Northern Myths and Legends written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great read for children and great for reading around a fire on a cold winter night! We have to thank C. J. Tibbits for collecting and translating these tales. In the main he drew them from previous collations by Thiele, Hylten-Cavallius, Stephens, and of course, Asbjörnsen, Moe, and, not forgetting, the Prose Edda. Scandinavian Folklore is well to the front. Its treasures are many, and of much value. One may be almost sorry to find among them the originals of many of our English tales. Herein you will find 28 old legends and tales drawn from across Scandinavia - Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Some will be familiar but most, less so. These may even seem to be a refreshing new find for, you, the reader. Even if you haven’t read some of these stories, you can rest assured that all will entertain. You can also be sure the general lesson these stories convey is the sure punishment of vice and the reward of virtue; some way or another the villain always meets with his just deserts – just as Fairy Tales are meant to be. In this volume you will find Northern Stories like: The Wonderful Plough. How A Lad Stole The Giant's Treasure. Tales Of Cats. The Magician's Daughter The Hill-Man Invited To The Christening. The Meal Of Frothi. The Lost Bell. Maiden Swanwhite And Maiden Foxtail. Tales Of Treasure. Holger Danske. Tales From The Prose Edda The Strange Builder. Thor's Journey To The Land Of Giants. The Death Of Baldur. The Punishment Of Loki. Origin Of Tiis Lake. There Are Such Women. Tales Of The Nisses. The Dwarfs' Banquet. The Icelandic Sorceresses. The Three Dogs. The Legend Of Thorgunna. The Little Glass Shoe. How Loki Wagered His Head. The Adventures Of John Dietrich. How Thorston Became Rich. Gudbrand. The Dwarf-Sword Tirfing - plus many, many more So, after you have downloaded this unique volume, find a comfy chair, sit back with your reader and a steaming hot beverage and be prepared to be entertained for hours. ========== KEYWORDS: folklore, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, cultural, setting, Scandinavia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Wonderful, Plough, Steal, Giant's Treasure, Cats, Magician's Daughter, Hill-Man, Invitation, Christening, Meal, Frothi, Lost Bell, Maiden Swanwhite, Foxtail, Treasure, Holger Danske, Prose Edda, Strange Builder, Thor's Journey, Land Of Giants, Death, Baldur, Punishment, Loki, Origin, Tiis Lake, Such Women, Nisses, Dwarfs, Banquet, Icelandic, Sorceress, Three Dogs, Thorgunna, Little Glass Shoe, Wager, Head, Adventures, John Dietrich, Thorston, Rich, Gudbrand, Dwarf-Sword, Tirfing

In every country there is a place where good wishes come true: where the poor and the lonely are rich in castles and friends: and where sorrowful folk are happy. Here you will hear the birds singing and children laughing, all day long. The trees are full of blossoms and fruit. The sky is always blue, the grass green and soft. Under the trees dwell the fairies, and against the blue sky you will sometimes see the sheen of angels’ wings as the flit by. It is from this place that these children’s stories originate. So, we invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Fairy culture not seen in print for over a century; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear. ---------------------------- KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, snegorotchka, russian, buried moon, english, white caroline, black caroline, flemish, seven conquerors, queen, Mississippi, belgian, serpent prince, italian, hind of the wood, french, ivan, chestnut horse, russian, many-coloured bedchamber, irish, blue bird, bashtchelik, real steel, serbian, friar and the boy, green serpent, urashima taro, japanese, fire bird, story of the bird feng, chinese
