Herein are 19 folk and fairy tales gathered from around the world, illustrated and retold by Katharine Pyle. You will find tales from ancient Bohemia, Norse, France, Germany, Hindu, American Indian, Russia and more.

Included are children’s classics like the Three Billy Goats Gruff, Dapplegrim and even a Russian Baba Yaga tale. While some of the titles maybe less familiar, you will find the tales, like Princess Rosetta and The Crow Peri, are of superior quality and were the favourites of Victorian and Edwardian children.
