Hero Folk of Ancient Britain (Classic Reprint)

The pictures and language are harmonized with the times: arms, dress, and domestic architecture present no anachronisms.

Adhering to the principle of all editorial work heretofore done by me, the emphasis of these stories has been changed by simply laying stress upon the positive virtues of kindness to neighbors and love of king and country.

For obvious reasons the latest addition to Tom Thumb, dating back to the sixteenth century, is entirely omitted, having no more right there than any vulgar tale would have if picked up to-day in bad company.
