About This Book

This volume gathers an international assortment of fairy tales, elfin legends, and wonder-tales retold for storytelling, reading aloud, and children's independent reading. It presents episodes of little folk, fairy rings, enchanted hills, household spirits, and magical treasures drawn from diverse traditions, and intersperses poems and fresh translations. The selections favor accessible language, omit needlessly terrifying or morally confusing passages, and include an index and notes to help storytellers use tales for delight, ethical examples, and imaginative development.
