Myths, legends, folk tales, fantasies
The series covers myths and legends from Russia, England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France, Scandinavia, Yugoslavia (as was), Switzerland, Japan, China , Germany, India and more.
They are an extremely well written series and provide a consummate re-telling of many well known traditional tales as well as lesser known national legends. There are amusing simple black and white illustrations and also attractive full-page colour plates by Kiddell-Monroe.
These books can be read simply for enjoyment or to further one's knowledge of the culture and traditions of each country. Whatever your intent, they are well worth a read.
