Description
Excerpt from Slavonic Fairy Tales: Collected and Translated From the Russian, Polish, Servian, and Bohemian
IT is no longer thought needful to apologise for a collection of folk-tales. They are not even the peculiar property of the children any longer; the gravest scho lars do not disdain to examine and discuss them, and all parts of the world, from Mongolia to Cafraria, are ransacked to produce them. Here is presented a little gathering of these wild ?owers, plucked not for their scientific interest, - though that they possess, - but for the wild fresh perfume that clings about them.
