About this book

Fourteen folk and fairy stories, gathered from around the world and retold for young readers, make up this 1919 collection. Katharine Pyle opens with Ashipattle, the ash-sitting youngest son who sails out to kill the monstrous Stoorworm off the Scottish coast, then ranges to a Serbian girl who answers every riddle her king sets her, the Russian frog princess, two Persian tales of magic carpets and silver citrons, a Norse magic pipe, and stories carried from Louisiana, Bengal, and the Cossack lands. Ali Cogia arrives straight from the Arabian Nights. Pyle keeps the plain spoken cadence of a storyteller working aloud, and she drew the six plates herself. The result shows how American editors of the period handed children the shared stock of world folklore.
