Fairy-gold - Ernest Rhys

This treasury of 33 classic English fairy tales will delight children and adults alike. Here are familiar and much loved tales like: The History of Tom Thumb; The Story of the Three Bears; and Jack and the Bean-Stalk; that have captivated many generations, along with other English fairy tales that may prove new to today's readers: The Green Knight; The Giant of St Michael's; and Queen Mab's Good Grace. Gorgeously illustrated throughout, this volume is a near replica of the original 1906 edition. While many of the stories are familiar childhood lore, children, adults, and fairy tale enthusiasts will be delighted with some of the old tales that have been forgotten and lost in modern collections.
