Overview

The books in this series of Bedtime Wonder Tales are made up of favorite stories from the folklore of all nations. Such stories are particularly enjoyed by children from four to twelve years of age. As here told they are free from the savagery, distressing details, and excessive pathos which mar many of the tales in the form that they have come down to us from a barbaric past. But there has been no sacrifice of the simplicity and humor and sweetness that give them perennial charm. The book includes the following stories: (1) Bluebeard, (2) The Blood-Stained Key, (3) A Goblin in a Bottle, (4) A Scholar's Fortune, (5) Yallery Brown, (6) A Troublesome Helper, (7) The Little Jackal, (8) The Blind Ogre, (9) Seven Doves, (10) Time and His Mother, (11) Blockhead Hans, (12) The Rival Suitors, (13) Cunning Tom, (14) A Miser's Hired Man, (15) The Boy in a Peach, (16) A Warrior's Helpers, (17) The Island of Demons, (18) Andrew Coffey, and (19) Careless Mr. Buzzard.
