About the Book Fairy tales, wonder tales, magic tales are a folklore genre taking the form of a short story that typically includes magical beings such as dragons, elves, fairies, giants, gnomes, goblins, griffins, mermaids, talking animals, trolls, unicorns, or witches. Generally, magic or enchantments are involved. Fairy tales are distinguished from legends, are mainly derived from European tradition and folk lore, and are generally children's literature.

Generally, these myths and legends describe epic quests, journeys and interactions between human adventurers or heroes and god-like deities.Also in this Book A short story collection is a book that contains short stories written by a single author.

Excerpt from Married, Not Mated, or How They Lived at Woodside and Throckmorton HallThe poet, crazed with care, and very possibly crossed in hopeless love, gliding at twilight toward the more secluded quarter of the town, stops as he sees the black shadows crouching among the tangled shrubberies, half-expecting to behold a ghost whitening.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Josephine GalleryYet it was different with my father and young Wal dern. They kept their word and faith. They grew sober, but their hearts beat warmly, even in riper years. Their paths in life were very distinct, but their souls always turned towards each other, notwithstanding the distance which separated them. They married, but they never forgot their brotherlike tenderness. Once every year they visited each other, notwithstanding they were separated by a three days' journey. And even when they each had the engagements Of an Office, and a family Of children, they devoted two or three weeks to their annual visit.For several years, at first, the visits took place alternately at their different homes. Afterwards, it was usually my father who made the journey, and was entertained by his friends. I do not know how this happened; but Wald'ern was rich by marriage and inheritance, dwelt in the, city and held an Office at court, which gave him a great deal of occupation; these rea sons might have kept him at home. My father held the Office Of head Forester in a village; his house had no superfluous room for guests accustomed to luxury; perhaps it was more pleasant for him to see, once a year, the varied bustle Of the city, than for the courtier to inspect the woodcutting in a forest, or the table in a village; for some reason, however, it came at last to be the custom for my father, every summer, to take a jour ney and visit his friend.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
