The simplicity of character necessary for the retaining of old memories and beliefs is being lost more rapidly in England, than in any other part of the world. In editing this volume, the editor endeavored to select some of the best specimens of English folklore. With regard to the nursery tales, he took pains to give them as they are in the earliest editions he could find.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
