Présentation de l'éditeur

The Book of Fables and The Book of Folk Stories. Literature, in one form or another, recognizes a number of stories which are current in many tongues, and may or may not have had a single origin. Such is the tale of William Tell. There are legends also which sprang up in the popular mind about some hero of real life, and, in ages which knew a marked separation between literate and illiterate, these stories, treasured by uncritical minds, came to express in supernatural terms facts and incidents which at other times would have been held fast in more exactJ.v-ogj pphy- Sue Lare the legends of Saint Christopher and Saint George and the Dragon. A gain, theje are stories like The Bell of Justice and The I mage and the Treasure 3which were the inversion of mediaeval preachers of a lively turn of imagination, and have found a place in such collections as Gesta Romanorum.
