The Watkins Book of English Folktales
This comprehensive, entertaining and authentic collection of English folktales is perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Philip Pullman and the Brothers Grimm.
This is a golden treasury of over one hundred English folktales captured in the form they were first collected in past centuries. Read these classic tales as they would have been told when storytelling was a living art ā when the audience believed in boggarts and hobgoblins, local witches and will-oā-the-wisps, ghosts and giants, cunning foxes and royal frogs. Find āJack the Giantkillerā, āTom Tit Totā and other quintessentially English favourites, alongside interesting borrowings, such as an English version of the Grimmsā āLittle Snow Whiteā ā as well as bedtime frighteners, including āCaptain Murdererā, as told to Charles Dickens by his childhood nurse.
Neil Philip has provided a full introduction and source notes on each story that illustrate each taleās journey from mouth to page, and what has happened to them on the way. These tales rank among the finest English short stories of all time in their richness of metaphor and plot and their great verbal dash and daring.
