12 classic English fairy tales and their history, from tales of dragons to Robin
Hood.
Folk tales and legends are an intrinsic part of English national culture. In his
book, Rosalind Kerven has revived the best English fairy tales for a new
generation. These are stories of giants, dragons, fairies and Arthurian Romance.
Together, they form a perfect introduction to the different types of traditional
stories and their place in English oral and written heritage.
Each tale is linked with a specific place or county in England: 'The Dragon
Castle' from Northumberland, 'The Girl Snatched By Fairies' from County Durham,
'The Princess and the Fool' from Kent and 'The Dark Moon' from Lincolnshire.
The book also includes notes on each story: the history and where it came from,
its development and short summaries of many related or similar stories.
