Folklore and Fable: Aesop, Grimm, Andersen is a volume in the Harvard Classics series, specifically Volume 17. This book is a collection of classic stories from three of the most famous authors of fables and folklore: Aesop, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen. The book includes a selection of Aesop's fables, which are short stories that teach moral lessons through the actions of animals. The Brothers Grimm's fairy tales are also featured, including classics such as Cinderella and Rapunzel. Finally, the book includes a selection of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, including The Little Mermaid and The Emperor's New Clothes. This volume is part of the larger Harvard Classics series, which was published in the early 20th century and aimed to provide a comprehensive collection of classic literature from various genres and time periods. Folklore and Fable is a perfect addition to any library and is a great resource for those interested in classic literature, folklore, and moral lessons.1909. Many tales have been collected and they are represented in the present volume by the household tales preserved by Grimm. Far earlier written down, but less primitive in kind, are the Aesopic Fables. Still more recent, both in kind and in date, are the Wonder stories of modern manufacture represented here by the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Andersen had a marvelous knack of entertaining children by repeating old folk tales of the type collected by Grimm; and his success in this led him on to attempt inventing new ones.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
