€œEnglish Fairy Tales€ is a collection of 43 traditional stories that recount the adventures of giants, witches, princes, princesses, and animals. These are real fairy tales and not watered down tales with a happy ending. Though not politically correct in every way, €œEnglish Fairy Tales€ is true to the spirit of children€™s stories. Along with the classics (e.g. Jack the Giant Killer and Tom Thumb) there are lesser-known tales full of real suspense, action, ghosts, magic, really wicked stepmothers, love lost, imps, and fairies. And no guns. English Fairy Tales provides the little stressors that Disney doesn't, so that the effect is genuine - real anxiety, and real relief at the point of resolution. You can never be sure that there will be a wedding at the end of any story. This book also has beautiful word-play and rhythm. A real keeper!

Preface WHO says that English folk have no fairy tales of their own? The present volume contains only a selection out of some 140, of which I have found traces in this country. It is probable that many more exist. A quarter of the tales in this volume have been collected during the last ten years or so, and some of them have not been hitherto published. Up to 1870, it was said equally of France and of Italy, that they possessed no folk-tales. Yet, within fifteen years from that date, over 1000 tales had been collected in each country. I am hoping that the present volume may lead to equal activity in this country, and would earnestly beg any reader of this book who knows of similar tales, to communicate them, written down as they are told, to me, care of the Publishers. The only reason, I imagine, why such tales have not hitherto been brought to light, is the lamentable gap between the governing and recording classes and the dumb working classes of this country dumb to others but eloquent among themselves.
