A book of traditional fairy lore. Internationally acclaimed as one of Britain's most respected folklore scholars, Katharine Briggs(1898-1980) was also one of the most popular authors in the field. These selected works provide some of her landmark writings, spanning the whole of her publishing career, from 1959 to 1980.

Not what I expected. I very much enjoyed reading the exerpts from the fairy tales and legends themselves, but did not care so much about how they came to be. It lost my interest before 50 pages in, unfortunately.
