Description: From the preface:In putting these tales together, I have acted on the same principles as in the preceding volume, which has already, I am happy to say, established itself as a kind of English Grimm. I have taken English tales wherever I could find them, one from the United States, some from the Lowland Scotch, and a few have been adapted from ballads, while I have left a couple in their original metrical form. I have rewritten most of them, and in doing so have adopted the traditional English style of folk-telling, with its "Wells" and "Lawkamercy" and archaic touches, which are known nowadays as vulgarisms. From former experience, I find that each of these principles has met with some dissent from critics who have written from the high and lofty standpoint of folk-lore, or from the lowlier vantage of "mere literature." I take this occasion to soften their ire, or perhaps give them further cause for reviling.-JOSEPH JACOBS Chapters00 – Preface01Tom Tit Tot02The Three Sillies03The Rose Tree04The Old Woman and Her Pig05How Jack Went to Seek His Fortune06Mr. Vinegar07Nix Nought Nothing08Jack Hannaford09Binnorie10Mouse and Mouser11Cap o’ Rushes12Teeny-tiny13Jack and the Beanstalk14The Story of the Three Little Pigs15The Master and His Pupil16Titty Mouse and Tatty Mouse17Jack and His Golden Snuff-Box18The Story of the Three Bears19 Jack the Giant-Killer20 Henny Penny21 Childe Rowland22 Molly Whuppie23The Red Ettin24The Golden Arm25The History of Tom Thumb26Mr. Fox27Lazy Jack28Johnny-Cake29Earl Mar's Daughter30Mr. Miacca31Whittington and His Cat32The Strange Visito33The Laidly Worm of Spindleston Heugh34The Cat and the Mouse35The Fish and the Ring36The Magpie's Next37Kate Crackernuts38The Cauld Lad of Hilto39The Ass, the Table, and the Stick40Fairy Ointment41The Well of the World's End42Master of All Masters43The Three Heads of the Well Read by Joy ChanApprox.
