In this volume you will find the Grecian tales of: The Fairy-Hunter Fairy Gardens The Fairy Wife Fairies Of The Waterfall The Fairy Comb A Fairy Wedding The Fairy Ring The Fairies’ Theft The Haunted Ship The Wonder Of Skoupa The First Of May The Fairy Mother In every country there is a place where good wishes come true: where the poor and the lonely are rich in castles and friends: and where sorrowful folk are happy. Here you will hear the birds singing and children laughing, all day long. The trees are full of blossoms and fruit. The sky is always blue, the grass green and soft. Under the trees dwell the fairies, and against the blue sky you will sometimes see the sheen of angels’ wings as the flit by. It is from this place that these children’s stories originate. But beware, some, a few, of these stories also contain sadness. Why? Because these stories are used to teach children the lessons of life, albeit in a more gentle way. So, we invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Greek Fairy culture not seen in print for over a century; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear made more believable by the 41 pen and ink illustrations by Henriette Reiss. ---------------------------- KEYWORDS-TAGS: Greece, Greek, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, Fairy Hunter, Fairy Gardens, Fairy Wife, Fairies Of The Waterfall, Fairy Comb, Fairy Wedding, Fairy Ring, Fairies’ Theft, Haunted Ship, Wonder Of Skoupa, First Of May, Fairy Mother

This is a wonderful collection of stories about Greek fairies. Similar to the northern fairies, they are not adverse to interacting with mortals. However, there is always some proviso, such as the fairy bride who is forbidden to speak, and drives her husband mad (The Fairy Mother). The tragedy can also turn the other way, such as the fairy maiden exiled from the fairy palace by one kiss from a mortal (The Fairy Comb). Greek fairies avoid guns (i.e. metal), crosses, and talismans, just like their northern counterparts. They have sanctuaries, sometimes on mountain peaks, sometimes in the ocean. The Greek fairies described here are obvious descendants of the nature elementals of ancient mythology.

The first anthology to present the entire range of ancient Greek and Roman stories- from myths and fairy tales to jokes Captured centaurs and satyrs, talking animals, people who suddenly change sex, men who give birth, the temporarily insane and the permanently thick-witted, delicate sensualists, incompetent seers, a woman who remembers too much, a man who cannot laugh-these are just some of the colorful characters who feature in the unforgettable stories that ancient Greeks and Romans told in their daily lives. Together they created an incredibly rich body of popular oral stories that include, but range well beyond, mythology-from heroic legends, fairy tales, and fables to ghost stories, urban legends, and jokes.
