Excerpt from Hero Folk of Ancient Britain The pictures and language are harmonized with the times: arms, dress, and domestic architecture present no anachronisms. Adhering to the principle of all editorial work heretofore done by me, the emphasis of these stories has been changed by simply laying stress upon the positive virtues of kindness to neighbors and love of king and country. For obvious reasons the latest addition to Tom Thumb, dating back to the sixteenth century, is entirely omitted, having no more right there than any vulgar tale would have if picked up to-day in bad company.

Excerpt from Heroes of Old Britain: Retold From Geoffrey of Monmouth Of the early dawn of history. The tales of the heroes of Greece and Rome have long been familiar to British children, but the early heroes of their own race are only of late coming into their own. Indeed, there is no such super abundance of hero-stories of the British race that apology is needed for the appearance of this small collection.

Excerpt from Waifs and Strays of Celtic Tradition: Folk and Hero Tales The following Folk Tales, forming a volume by themselves, have been included in the series Of Wazfi and Strays of Celtic Tradition, through the kindness Of my friend, the Reverend D. Macinnes, who has made over the entire collection for this purpose. Efforts were made to secure the first nine tales Of this collection for the late John F. Campbell, Of lslay, but they were unsuccessful. When these Tales were narrated, as they were, without a hesitation in their recital, the narrator was in his seventy-fourth year. Like many others possessing fairy-lore, he has passed away within the last few years; and it is probable that before long the land will be ransacked in vain for the legendary folk-lore or for the fairy lore pure and simple with which it once was teeming.

Excerpt from Legendary Heroes of Ireland The early Celts have little literature other than these stories, which have been handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Most of the tales in this book have been taken from the Ossianic Saga. Whether Finn belongs to history or mythology detracts no jot from the absorbing inter est Of his exploits. I have tried to make the story of Finn something of a connected narrative. To do this I have taken incidents from various versions; I have left out much unsuitable to children, and I have changed some inci dents to conform to the modern standards Of morals. The chronology of arrangement is my own, but I have tried to preserve the spirit of the originals. No collection Of Irish folk stories could be brought out were it not for the work Of those many scholars who have spent years in collecting and translating the tales of the Celtic race. To our American lin guist, Jeremiah Curtin, and to the Irish scholars Sir Douglas Hyde, Dr. Joyce, Eleanor Hull, Lady Gregory, T. W. Rolleston and others, my thanks are due. Their Splendid research work has made pos sible such a volume as this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Hero-Tales of Ireland These people, who were very numerous, lived together for ages in harmony. There were no collisions among them, no disputes during that period 5 all were in perfect accord. In some mysterious fashion, however, each indi vidual was changing imperceptibly 5 an internal movement was going on. At last, a time came when the differences were sufficient to cause conflict, except in the case of a group to be mentioned hereafter, and struggles began.

Hero Myths & Legends of the British Race IN refashioning, for the pleasure of readers of the twentieth century, these versions of ancient tales which have given pleasure to story-lovers of all centuries from the eighth onward, I feel that some explanation of my choice is necessary. Men's conceptions of the heroic change with changing years, and vary with each individual mind; hence it often happens that one person sees in a legend only the central heroism, while another sees only the inartistic details of mediæval life which tend to disguise and warp the heroic quality. It may be that to some people the heroes I have chosen do not seem heroic, but there is no doubt that to the age and generation which wrote or sang of them they appeared real heroes, worthy of remembrance and celebration, and it has been my object to come as close as possible to the mediæval mind, with its elementary conceptions of honour, loyalty, devotion, and duty. I have therefore altered the tales as little as I could, and have tried to put them as fairly as possible before modern readers, bearing in mind the altered conditions of things and of intellects to-day...

This comprehensive collection of folk hero tales builds on the success of the first edition by providing readers with expanded contextual information on story characters from the Americas to Zanzibar. Despite the tremendous differences between cultures and ethnicities across the world, all of them have folk heroes and heroines—real and imagined—that have been represented in tales, legends, songs, and verse. These stories persist through time and space, over generations, even through migrations to new countries and languages. This encyclopedia is a one-stop source for broad coverage of the world's folk hero tales. Geared toward high school and early college readers, the book opens with an overview of folk heroes and heroines that provides invaluable context and then presents a chronology. The book is divided into two main sections: the first provides entries on the major types and themes; the second addresses specific folk tale characters organized by continent with folk hero entries organized alphabetically. Each entry provides cross references as well as a list of further readings. Continent sections include a bibliography for additional research. The book concludes with an alphabetical list of heroes and an index of hero types.
