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 equally said 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 Mr. Nutt. 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. It would be no unpatriotic task to help to bridge over this gulf, by giving a common fund of nursery literature to all classes of the English people, and, in any case, it can do no harm to add to the innocent gaiety of the nation. A word or two as to our title seems necessary. We have called our stories Fairy Tales though few of them speak of fairies. [Footnote: For some recent views on fairies and tales about fairies, see Notes.] The same remark applies to the collection of the Brothers Grimm and to all the other European collections, which contain exactly the same classes of tales as ours. Yet our stories are what the little ones mean when they clamour for "Fairy Tales," and this is the only name which they give to them. One cannot imagine a child saying, "Tell us a folk-tale, nurse," or "Another nursery tale, please, grandma." As our book is intended for the little ones, we have indicated its contents by the name they use. The words "Fairy Tales" must accordingly be taken to include tales in which occurs something "fairy," something extraordinary-fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals. It must be taken also to cover tales in which what is extraordinary is the stupidity of some of the actors. Many of the tales in this volume, as in similar collections for other European countries, are what the folklorists call Drolls. They serve to justify the title of Merrie England, which used to be given to this country of ours, and indicate unsuspected capacity for fun and humour among the unlettered classes. The story of Tom Tit Tot, which opens our collection, is unequalled among all other folk-tales I am acquainted with, for its combined sense of humour and dramatic power. The first adjective of our title also needs a similar extension of its meaning. I have acted on Moli�re's principle, and have taken what was good wherever I could find it. Thus, a couple of these stories have been found among descendants of English immigrants in America; a couple of others I tell as I heard them myself in my youth in Australia. One of the best was taken down from the mouth of an English Gipsy. I have also included some stories that have only been found in Lowland Scotch. I have felt justified in doing this, as of the twenty-one folk-tales contained in Chambers' "Popular Rhymes of Scotland," no less than sixteen are also to be found in an English form. With the Folk-tale as with the Ballad, Lowland Scotch may be regarded as simply a dialect of English, and it is a mere chance whether a tale is extant in one or other, or both. I have also rescued and re-told a few Fairy Tales that only exist now-a-days in the form of ballads. There are certain indications that the "common form" of the English Fairy Tale was the cante-fable, a mixture of narrative and verse of which the most illustrious example in literature is "Aucassin et Nicolette."

Isabelle Adriani, PhD in History and Fairy Tales, artist and journalist, will take you through space and time, back to the origins of enchanted fairy tales which are powerful metaphors for how to live a just life. Their origins are rooted in our shared history. From America, to China, to Europe, to The Middle East, these anthology attempt to uncover the origins of our world's most famous fairy tales. They break down cultural, societal and religious barriers and offer hope in facing our ongoing human struggle. Psychologists agree that fairy tales teach children (and grown-ups) how to navigate more effectively through our experiences. They preach discipline, patience, loyalty, determination, courageous action, and most importantly, how to attain our goals. They also demonstrate how unlucky outsiders, those who are ridiculed by society can, if they so choose, rise from the ashes to change the narrative of their lives. Hundreds of such stories, dating all the way back to ancient mythology and the origins of mankind, can be found in innumerable cultures all around the world. Our journey will lead us to discover the truths hidden behind the most beloved fairy tales of all times: The enchanting story of Cinderella, the talking mirror of Snow White, the mystery of Beauty and the Beast, the flying carpet of Aladdin, the magical powers of fairies, the legendary Sleeping Beauty, the untold secret of the mermaids, the unbreakable swords of ancient Chinese warriors, the glass slipper in Cinderella, and Rapunzel's golden braid. We all thought these were invented stories, but they are not. All of these people and things had a place in ancient history where they originated - in the real world. In this anthology about the historical origins of Fairy Tales we will look at princesses but not only. Many of these stories can be traced back to the collection of fairy tales first collected by the Brothers Grimm. Join Isabelle Adriani, a modern Sister Grimm as she will take you on the journey of a lifetime.

How would you react if you were a young boy who had lost friends when he and his family were transferred to another town to work and live? Or did you ever have people in your life who seemed to think they could do things better than everyone else? Maybe youve wondered what would happen if you could go back in time to rectify a mistake you think youve made. Or perhaps youve thought about why life keeps putting roadblocks in your way to being rewarded for what you know you have done. For some of us, it seems that finding the right soul mate will never happen; for others, solving problems in life situations is a calling. Human behavior and its consequence is a dynamic that we all experience in our individual ways. If youve ever heard it said that we are what we experience, then Not All So Tall Tales will provide you with some food for thought.

Fairytales with a twist from the Man Booker and Orange prize-shortlisted author of Room. In Kissing the Witch, Emma Donoghue unwinds thirteen fairy tales and writes them anew: Cinderella forsakes the handsome prince and runs off with the fairy godmother, Beauty discovers the Beast behind the mask is not so very different from the face she sees in the mirror, and Snow White is awakened from slumber by the bittersweet fruit of an unnamed desire. In these stories, Emma Donoghue reveals heroines young and old in unexpected alliances – sometimes treacherous, sometimes erotic, but always courageous. Told with luminous voices that shimmer with sensuality and truth, these age-old characters shed their antiquated cloaks to travel a seductive new landscape, radiantly transformed.
