Summary: "Stories from the Ballads, Told to the Children" by Mary Macgregor is a collection of traditional tales derived from folklore and balladry, likely written in the early 20th century. The stories are designed to captivate and entertain children, presenting themes of love, adventure, and magic through richly imagined narratives featuring characters like fairies, knights, and courageous maidens. At the start of the collection, the author introduces the origins of these tales, describing the role of minstrels in the past who traveled across the land sharing stories of love and conflict. The opening section features the tale of "The Young Tamlane," where a young boy named Tamlane is taken by the Queen of Fairies and later encounters Janet, a maiden whose strong will leads her to seek him out. This enchanting beginning sets the tone for a series of captivating stories that explore familiar themes from folklore, promising adventures filled with magic and moral lessons.
