English Fairy and Other Folk TalesEdwin Sidney Hartland W. Scott, 1890 - 282 páginas A collection of traditional English tales about legendary people and events, fairies, giants, witches, goblins, and ghosts. The editor defines a "Saga" as a "traditional narrative which is believed to be true, and which relates to some definite human person... or to some definite locality, or to the power and deeds of some deity or supernatural being or race of beings." A Nursery Tale, or Märchen is not believed to be true and its end is fortunate: Jack "must" escape the giant. A "Droll" is just that: Droll. |
