Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is meant to be an enlightening experience. In order to inspire and enlighten children, they must be given bright and inspirational stories to read. They will find them in Merry Tales. Herein are 29 stories chosen by two school teachers, first, because they are stories children have always loved, and second, because they are free from much of the gruesome and grotesque which figures in so many of the early folk tales and fables of the past. Some of the stories in this volume are: The Monkey and the Crocodile – from Jataka Tales, The Hillman and the Housewife - Juliana H. Ewing The Forest Bailiff – A Russian Legend Bruin and Reynard Partners – A Scandinavian Folk Tale The Three Wishes – A Swedish Legend The Stone Lion – by Captain W. P. O’Connor; and many more. They are accompanied by 12 colour plates and good many BnW vignettes which, together, bring life, and interest, to the tales. This book is intended as a supplementary reader for children in their third or fourth year of school and the vocabulary has been carefully graded to meet that need. The stories are in essence short, but long enough to keep a young mind interested without becoming bored. Some of the stories have dramatic qualities and will be found to lend themselves readily to dramatisation. Early in life children should learn something of myths and folklore. These tales are founded on these old treasures, but are charmingly adapted to the understanding of present-day children. So, we invite you to download and read this book of Merry Tales. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. ============= KEYWORDS/TAGS: folklore, fairy tales, fairytales, legends, myths, children’s stories, fables, bedtime stories, allegories, Fairies Story Hour, childrens books, pixies, pixy, Monkey and the Crocodile, Jataka Tales, Hillman and the Housewife, Fishing Party, Forest Bailiff, Russian, Bruin and Reynard, Partners, Scandinavian Folk Tales, Three Wishes, Swedish, Pigtail, Poem, W.

This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection, ‘The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen – with Honor Appleton illustrations’ is decorated with the magnificent colour and black-and-white artwork of Honor C. Appleton. It contains some of Andersen’s best stories, including such well-known and loved tales as ‘The Little Mermaid, ‘The Steadfast Tin Soldier’, ‘The Ugly Duckling’, ‘The Snow Queen’, ‘The Little Match Girl’ and ‘The Red Shoes’. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish poet and author celebrated for his children’s stories, but perhaps best known for his fables and fairy tales – meant for both adults and children. They were frequently written in a colloquial style, using idioms and spoke language in a manner previously unseen in Danish literature. Though simple at first glance, Andersen’s stories often convey sophisticated moral teachings, in equal measure heart-breaking and heart-warming. The stories are accompanied by the dazzling illustrations of Honor C. Appleton (1879 – 1951). Appleton illustrated over one-hundred-and-fifty books during the course of her career, with her most famous works including Our Nursery Rhyme Book (1912), and Charles Perrault’s Fairy Tales (1919). As her career progressed, she began producing bolder images for literary classics – but her best-loved drawings remain those for the children’s market. Presented alongside the text, the Honor Appleton illustrations further refine and elucidate Andersen’s captivating narratives. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s classics and fairy tales – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.

This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 863 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enchanting, tragic, and hilarious fairy tales for adults and children grace these pages. An initial glance might lead you to assume that these are satirical versions of classic Christmas ghost stories. However, beneath the humorous stories involving ghosts, repentant sinners, miracles, and good peasants who find well-deserved happiness, lies a psychological undercurrent that sharpens the sense of intrigue and plot movement. Often this is aided by the unrelenting social exposure of the authors who always understood how intangible the “bourgeois paradise” truly was. Even today, idyllic dreams of tolerance, equality, and the triumph of justice have failed to materialize. Perhaps that is why people continue to read these classic stories while the snow falls outside and the lights glow on the Christmas tree. Contents: Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol The Chimes G.K.
