More than two dozen traditional stories from Scandinavia, France, Russia, and beyond, with an enlightening introduction by two folklorists. Alfred David and Mary Elizabeth Meek have compiled a collection of fairy tales that ranges from the Grimm brothers’ inimitable recreations of archetypal folktales to the modern prose charm of James Thurber’s Many Moons. The appeal of the stories is wide and varied: the refined intelligence of Perrault, the wondrous imagination of Andersen, the descriptive power of Ruskin, the bittersweet melancholy of Wilde. These are but a few of the artists represented in this remarkably inclusive selection of works from Germany, Russia, France, Scandinavia, England, and America. Many are in new translations in the modern idiom and all testify eloquently to the unceasing vitality of this literary genre.
