Folk literature is perhaps the oldest of all literature, as it records stories handed down from generation to generation over centuries. Exposing children to folktales is a gentle way of introducing them to the realities of life. People in folktales are not always goods. Some are cruel, some are dishonest, and some take adventage of the misfortunes of others. But many folktales end on a positive note, sending out a message that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that troubles have to be faced with courage, determination and hope.
Europeans began to write down the folk and fairy tales of their various countries only when Johan Gutenberg invented his printing press in 1450. Some of the better-known collectors of folktales are Joseph Jacobs of England, the Grimm brothers of Germany and the Norwegians, Peter Asbjornsen and Moe Jorgen.
Nearly all the stories in this collection earlier titled Folktales of the British Isles, are from England, Scotland or Ireland. Here you will meet, among other fascinating characters, the adventurer, Conall Yellowclaw, clever Jack O'Lantern who tricked even the devil and foolish MacAndrew brothers who frittered away their fortune and lost even the roof over their heads.
