Norwegian Folk Tales East O' the Sun and West O' the Moon Retold by Gudrun Thorne-Thomsen Illustrated by Frederick Richardson A collection of over twenty Norwegian folk tales and fairy tales. In preparing the stories for publication, the aim has been to preserve, as much as possible, in vocabulary and idiom, the original folklore language, and to retain the conversational style of the teller of tales, in order that the sympathetic young reader may, in greater or less degree, be translated into the atmosphere of the old-time story-hour.
Dutch Fairy Tales for Young Folks by William Elliot Griffis A collection of over twenty Dutch fairy tales including: The Entangled Mermaid, The Princess with Twenty Petticoats, and Why the Stork Loves Holland.
The stories found in this volume aim to faithfully reflect the spirit of the common folk. The stories are mostly genuine fairy tales bearing at times some resemblance to the tales heard in other lands. However, they are more often legends and wayside stories that are undeniably Dutch from start to finish with droll touches of humor. Some are parables or allegories on life. The author spent many years as a resident of Holland and has personal knowledge of the people and their tales.
Welsh Fairy Tales by William Elliot Griffis, illustrated
Though our debt to Wales for many things is great, we count not least those inheritances from the world of imagination, for which the Cymric Land was famous, even before the days of either Anglo-Saxon or Norman.
Celtic Tales told to the Children by Louey Chisholm with pictures by Katharine Cameron
One of my friends tells me that you, little reader, will not like these old, old tales; another says they are too sad for you, and yet another asks what the stories are meant to teach.
Celtic Tales told by Louey Chisholm are sad, but you do not always want to be amused. She has not told the stories for the sake of anything they may teach, but because of their sheer beauty, and she expect you to enjoy them as hundreds and hundreds of Irish and Scottish children have already enjoyed them--without knowing or wondering why.
