Excerpt from Nursery Tales From Many LandsIN the far-off days when the story-teller watched his listeners in order to let their faces guide or quicken his inspiration he must have been in close sympathy with the eager children who stood near him. Some times he pleased their vivid imaginations with a cumulative tale in which the emphasis of rhythmic repetitions helped the story to unfold simply and directly and at the same time gave the delighted children a feeling of growing familiarity with each recurring cycle. Or perhaps he told a simple folk tale in which the actors - human beings or animals revealed in their experiences some hint of a universal truth. Sometimes a genuine fairy-tale with a well} developed plot was his theme, and by means of artistic imagery he ¿ashed forth the lasting vision of an ideal. Through the ages the story-teller's tales have been bequeathed as a rich inheritance to the children of to-day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
