Synopsis

In "Europa's Fairy Book," Joseph Jacobs presents a rich tapestry of European folk tales, intertwining elements from various cultures to create a modern compendium of fairy tales that captures the essence of the continent's storytelling traditions. Beautifully written in a narrative style that balances oral tradition with literary refinement, Jacobs elevates common folk narratives while preserving their intrinsic charm. This collection not only recounts enchanting stories but also provides context on their origins, showcasing their moral underpinnings, cultural significance, and the transitional nature of folklore from oral to written form in a rapidly modernizing world. Joseph Jacobs, an influential figure in the late 19th century, was a dedicated folklorist and scholar who sought to preserve the enchanting word of fairy tales that had been orally transmitted for generations. His commitment to the authentic representation of folk tales reflects his upbringing in a culturally rich environment, where stories from various backgrounds shaped his understanding of narrative. Jacobs believed in the power of these tales to offer moral lessons and entertain, guiding his meticulous curation of "Europa's Fairy Book." "Europa's Fairy Book" is a compelling read for anyone interested in folklore, literature, or cultural studies, as it offers readers a vivid glimpse into the heart of European fairy tales. Jacobs' deft storytelling not only delights with whimsical plots but also serves as a lens through which to explore the socio-cultural landscapes of Europe. This collection is a must-read for scholars and casual readers alike who wish to engage with the complexities and wonders of fairy tales.

    The remarkable true-life story of one of the greatest pioneers - and women - in American history. Known as Stagecoach Mary, Mary Fields was born into slavery in the late 1800s in Tennessee. A tall, sturdy girl by the age of 14, Mary was ordered to work in the cotton fields performing heavy labor with boys and men. After the 13th amendment was proclaimed, ending slavery, Mary worked a variety of jobs including chambermaid on a steamboat and as a helping hand at a convent in Ohio and later at a missionary school in the dangerous Montana territory. She then became the second woman, and the first African American woman, to be hired as a U.S. Postal worker, earning her the name of Stagecoach Mary. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Mary's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her compelling story, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).

    "Hey Diddle Diddle, the Cat and the Fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon! The little dog laughed to see such sport and the dish ran off with the spoon." Perhaps you think this verse is all nonsense, and that the things it mentions could never have happened; but they did happen, as you will understand when Frank Baum has explained them all to you clearly. 
    Little Bobby was the only son of a small farmer who lived out of town upon a country road. Bobby's mother looked after the house and Bobby's father took care of the farm, and Bobby himself, who was not very big, helped them both as much as he was able. 
    It was lonely upon the farm, especially when his father and mother were both busy at work, but the boy had one way to amuse himself that served to pass many an hour when he would not otherwise have known what to do. He was very fond of music, and his father one day brought him from the town a small fiddle, or violin, which he soon learned to play upon. I don't suppose he was a very fine musician, but the tunes he played pleased himself, as well as his father and mother, and Bobby's fiddle soon became his constant companion. To find out how the cow and the cat and the moon became involved, you will need to listen to this delightful talk and be much the wiser.
