Folktales Of The British Isles GN
Description
English folk and fairy tales, like similar tales from other countries, were written down only after the invention of printing in the 15th century. Joesph Jacobs (1854-1916) was a folklorist who collected many British and Irish folktales and compiled them. To him we owe ever-popular stories like Jack the Giant Killer, Dick Whittington and Three Little Pigs. He preserved traditional tales without tampering with their original form or making them models of good behaviour.
In this collection are included some of the lesser-known stories from England, Scotland, and Ireland. Read, among others, tales of the foolish MacAndrew brothers who happily frittered away their fortune, about clever Jack O'Lantern who tricked even the devil, and the adventures of Conall Yellowclaw.
