Johann Karl August Mus�us - Die Nymphe des Brunnens

A German folktale edited by Johann Karl August Mus�us, a German writer and philologist from Jena.
From the publisher: Mus�us' tales include magical elements and embrace disparate genres. Despite their title, his tales are literary rather than 'folk' and many derive from non German sources, because of during his work Mus�us was guided by a notice that 'all fairy tales did not have to be told in the childlike style of Mother Goose'.
Like the Grimms brothers, Mus�us excluded the fairy world and populated his tales with now traditional characters such as transformed animals, sorcerers, giants, animal bridegrooms, and wicked stepmothers.

The Complete Fairy Tales

A pumpkin is transformed into a coach. Bluebeard's young wife unlocks the door of the forbidden room. Children lost in the forest find shelter, but the house belongs to an ogre. These and many other scenes from the stories of Charles Perrault reach deep into the imagination and are never forgotten.
Now, in this scintillating new translation, the fairy tales of Perrault--stories that are known and loved around the world--are available in a beautiful gift edition. This superb translation by Christopher Betts exactly captures the tone and flavor of Perrault's world, and the delightful spirit of the originals. In addition to the classic prose tales--including The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, Little Red Riding-Hood, Bluebeard, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and Hop o' my Thumb--this new translation adds Perrault's tales in verse: a long poem on the subject of Patient Griselda; the notorious Donkey-Skin, often expunged from nineteenth-century collections; and the comic Three Silly Wishes.

Tales from the Taiwanese (World Folklore Series) Book

Although there are many collections of Chinese folktales, there are not any that focus on the tales of Taiwan, which have evolved in a tradition separate and distinct from that of mainland China. The Taiwanese tradition embraces tales from the Han and other groups from the mainland, as well as those of the Yuanzhumin, the island's indigenous people indigenous. Here then, is a wonderful sampling of more than 20 Taiwanese tales that appeal to all ages-from how and why stories, humorous tales, and animal tales to stories that demonstrate Taiwanese values and ethics. In addition to the stories, readers will find a brief history of the island, and discussion questions and activity ideas to extend learning and enjoyment; as well as simple Taiwanese recipes, color photos, and traditional drawings. Stories can be read aloud to younger students, while older children will enjoy reading and performing them on their own.
