Description

pubOne.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition.

Each Fairy Book demands a preface from the Editor, and these introductions are inevitably both monotonous and unavailing.

A sense of literary honesty compels the Editor to keep repeating that he is the Editor, and not the author of the Fairy Tales, just as a distinguished man of science is only the Editor, not the Author of Nature.

Like nature, popular tales are too vast to be the creation of a single modern mind.

The Editor's business is to hunt for collections of these stories told by peasant or savage grandmothers in many climes, from New Caledonia to Zululand; from the frozen snows of the Polar regions to Greece, or Spain, or Italy, or far Lochaber.

When the tales are found they are adapted to the needs of British children by various hands, the Editor doing little beyond guarding the interests of propriety, and toning down to mild reproofs the tortures inflicted on wicked stepmothers, and other naughty characters.
