520    "This is a golden treasury of over one hundred English 
       folktales captured in the form they were first collected 
       in past centuries. Read these classic tales as they would 
       have been told when storytelling was a living art - when 
       the audience believed in boggarts and hobgoblins, local 
       witches and will-o'-the-wisps, ghosts and giants, cunning 
       foxes and royal frogs. Find "Jack the Giantkiller", "Tom 
       Tit Tot" and other quintessentially English favourites, 
       alongside interesting borrowings, such as an English 
       version of the Grimms' "Little Snow White" - as well as 
       bedtime frighteners, including "Captain Murderer", as told
       to Charles Dickens by his childhood nurse. Neil Philip has
       provided a full introduction and source notes on each 
       story that illustrate each tale's journey from mouth to 
       page, and what has happened to them on the way. These 
       tales rank among the finest English short stories of all 
       time in their richness of metaphor and plot and their 
       great verbal dash and daring"--Amazon.com.
