Books with title Child's Book of Old Fashioned Fairy Tales I

Child’s Book of Old Fashioned Fairy Tales is meant to be read aloud. Mme. deChatelain was a premier translator of Grimm and Anderson in Victorian England and is well known for her eloquent sense of language. None of these stories have been “modernized” but have been left intact to maintain their original flair. This book contains the well known fairy tales that have variations not told in modern versions. Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood each have mysterious fairies that become essential to their stories. The tales The Charmed Fawn and The Eleven Wild Swans are notable for the role of girls in saving their brothers. In The Fair One with Golden Locks and The White Cat young women help young princes and noblemen achieve their goals. The Nine Mountains and Red Jacket; or, the Nose Tree present challenging problems where boys and men cooperate to learn and succeed. The Elves of the Fairy Forest is a cautionary tale where a young woman, becoming frustrated with her husbands adamant belief in a lie, betrays a confidence given to her by elves that condemns her thriving village to poverty. All the fairy tales are beautifully told with a challenging vocabulary. The book contains a glossary of old fashioned terms and phrases easily accessible at the back. The original Victorian illustrations are interspersed throughout.

"To be sure, we know most of mamma's stories by heart," said the sage elder of nine. "If she could only make up some new ones that aren't in any of our books! Or else, mamma, tell us something you heard a little bit of, long, long ago, from your nurse, and then make up the rest. But whatever one you tell, we'll be sure to like it anyhow." The stories told, the mother fell to musing, and the result is the little book here presented to the judgment of children other than her own - a few new fairy tales, on the old, old pattern!

There are significant variations from the fairy tales and stories as they are told today. The Story of the Three Bear features Little Silver hair instead of Goldilocks, Cinderella’s step sisters are not quite so ugly and evil as today’s versions. Princess Rosetta combines the isolation in the tower popularized by Rapunzel the quest of her brothers to free their sister, and the efforts of her dogs to save them all; while The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods adds the opportunity for Beauty’s father to regain his wealth only to be beset by his creditors. The Story of Bold Robin Hood casts the Sheriff of Nottingham as a greedy buffoon and makes the real enemy the land hungry Abbot and monks of the Fountain Abbey. Little Goody Two Shoes teaches basic reading skills and tells of a girl skilled in science. Who Killed Cock Robin teaches the recognition of numerous species of birds. The Old Woman and Her Eggs, Old Mother Goose, and The House that Jack Built are the concluding rhymes with Mme. De Chatelain’s original fairy tale Up! Horsie!. The original Victorian illustrations are interspersed throughout.
