Description
A beautifully illustrated edition of Polish Fairy Tales, this collection provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Polish legend and folklore. Polish folklore writer A. J. Glinksi spent years travelling the country, collecting and writing down stories told to him by ordinary folk. This edition brings together a selection of these tales, which were introduced to the English-speaking world in the early twentieth century and have since become an integral part of European literature. The stories in this collection are rooted in history, legend, and ancient culture, and are characterized by their moral virtues and close affinity to the folklore of other European nations. The tales are presented in a way that reflects their origins as part of a wide-ranging oral tradition, and include digital reproductions of the original illustrations. This new edition has been completely reset, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the rich cultural heritage of Poland.
