English Folk and Fairy Tales

Joseph Jacobs, late president of the English Folklore Society, has brought together 44 of the many charming myths and legends that have been told to children of the English countryside for hundreds of years. Included are classics that will live as long as there are children on earth to marvel at the wonder-world of fairyland. The Old Woman and Her Pig, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Story of the Three Bears and many others are brought to life through the text and John D. Batten's illustrations.
