"Fairy Tales from Many Lands" by Katharine Pyle is a collection of folk tales written in the early 20th century. This anthology features delightful stories from various cultures, exploring themes of magic, bravery, and the triumph of good over evil. Each tale presents unique characters and enchanting adventures that transport readers into imaginative realms filled with moral lessons. The opening of the collection introduces “The Seven Golden Peahens,” where a king's three sons each attempt to guard a magical golden apple tree. While the first two brothers fail due to an enchanting sound that lulls them to sleep, the youngest prince cleverly blocks his ears, allowing him to discover the secret of the tree: seven golden peahens, one of which transforms into a stunning princess. As he befriends her, the story unfolds into a quest filled with longing and challenges, as the prince must pursue the princess across mystical lands after a fateful encounter. The narrative draws readers into a world of wonder, setting the stage for more adventures that celebrate courage and love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
