English Fairy Tales

Many of the 43 tales in this volume are what folklorists call Drolls (a humorous story in which there is a jester or a wag) and have not been in print for over 100 years. They justify the title of “Merrie England”, a phrase which once indicated the underlying capacity for fun and humour of the English. 33% of the publisher's profit from this book will be donated to charity.
