English Fairy Tales and More English Fairy Tales

The first compilation of the full first-edition texts of the classic fairy tale collections by Joseph Jacobs, with Jacobs'' original prefaces and annotations.In these two classic collections, first published in 1890 and 1894, Joseph Jacobs combined folklore, children''s literature, and the eclectic scholarship of the Victorian era to create a storehouse of tales that inhabited the imaginations of children and adults for generations. Here readers first met Tom Tit Tot, Molly Whuppie, and Jack the Giant-Killer, and first read the stories of the Three Little Pigs, the Three Bears, and Henny-Penny.Jacobs'' daring collections challenged conventional thinking about the meaning of "folk," the individual artistry behind folktales, and the boundaries between folklore and literature, anticipating modern developments in folklore studies. His original editions of these 87 classic tales, along with the original illustrations, are reprinted in this new volume, offering readers an unsurpassed understanding of the development of the classic fairy tale in late Victorian England.>
