Synopsis "Child's Book of Old Fashioned Fairy Tales"
Child's Book of Old Fashioned Fairy Tales is meant to be read aloud. Mme. deChatelain was a premier translator of Grimm and Anderson in Victorian England and is well known for her eloquent sense of language. None of these stories have been "modernized" but have been left intact to maintain their original flair. This book contains the well known fairy tales that have variations not told in modern versions. Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood each have mysterious fairies that become essential to their stories. The tales The Charmed Fawn and The Eleven Wild Swans are notable for the role of girls in saving their brothers. In The Fair One with Golden Locks and The White Cat young women help young princes and noblemen achieve their goals. The Nine Mountains and Red Jacket; or, the Nose Tree present challenging problems where boys and men cooperate to learn and succeed. The Elves of the Fairy Forest is a cautionary tale where a young woman, becoming frustrated with her husbands adamant belief in a lie, betrays a confidence given to her by elves that condemns her thriving village to poverty. All the fairy tales are beautifully told with a challenging vocabulary. The book contains a glossary of old fashioned terms and phrases easily accessible at the back. The original Victorian illustrations are interspersed throughout.
