Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stories to Read or Tell: From Fairy Tales and Folklore, Selected and Edited
The child who is brought up entirely on fact, loses the joys and fine feeling offered to him through the imagery of great minds. To deprive him of fairy-tales, myths and legends as given through the medium of story-telling, is to keep from him a knowledge of the fair ies, gods and heroes so frequently alluded to by authors and poets of the world's literature.
