Text file produced by Charles Franks, Delphine Lettau and the people at DP HTML file produced by David Widger "English Fairy Tales" by Joseph Jacobs is a collection of folk tales and stories compiled in the late 19th century. The book features a variety of traditional English tales, many of which delve into themes of magic, morality, and humor, showcasing characters such as cunning animals, foolish humans, and enchanted beings. Through engaging narratives, these tales reflect the rich oral storytelling tradition of England. The beginning of "English Fairy Tales" introduces the reader to the concept of English fairy tales, though it clarifies that not all tales feature fairies. In the preface, Jacobs discusses the significance of these stories, emphasizing the gaps in recording English folklore and his desire to contribute to this literature. He outlines his approach to collecting tales, noting that some stories have never been published before and that he has reworked many to suit a younger audience's understanding. The opening portion also includes a selection of whimsical tales such as "Tom Tit Tot," where a clever girl outsmarts a mischievous imp, and "The Three Sillies," highlighting the foolishness of a farmer's family. Overall, Jacobs aims to preserve and celebrate the innocence and joy of English folk tales for all readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 85.6 (6th grade).
