註釋These collections of tales from around the world bring together magical tales told by firelight since the very first men and women came together to make sense of the world around them. These tales are universal. These tales have instructed us, have cautioned us, and entertained us for millennia.These particular tales are the from the English storytelling tradition, and this is the fourth book in a new series bringing together tales from all corners of the world. Such tales can be heartwarming, just as they can be dark and chilling. In the days when candlelight and the spoken word thrilled us all, these were the equivalent of YouTube sensations and social media channel hopping.Read these stories again in soft light with a glass of something warming by your side. Read them aloud to friends and family. These stories are magical. Let that magic flow...The wonder of storytelling is in the ritual. We have been sharing our stories, adult and child, for millennia. Before the advent of pen and parchment people relied on stories being passed through the generations as both history and as caution or adventure or excitement. Stories were and remain an essential element in the cultural and spiritual life of communities the world over.Listening to a story is like going on a journey. Only you can see the pictures in your mind. Only you can conjure the demons and the dragons and the heroes with such vivacity. As we travel through our story landscapes we are marked with wisdom and imagination. These are just some of the ingredients that make the wonder of storytelling. This book is split into two volumes and covers the English tradition in folk and fairy tale, in fable and saga. In compiling this collection from just a few of our forebears, I have been very warmly surprised at the breadth of subject matter. I've also come across stories that I had never read before, so the journey has been a delight.Once again, I hope that you are as delighted with these wonderful tales as I have been in putting these two volumes together.
