Excerpt from The Danish Fairy Book These fairy-tales of the Danish North are the simple and direct narratives of the fishermen, peas ants, seamen, huntsmen, shepherds, smiths and humble toilers of the land of Hans Andersen, faith fully presented in the traditional forms handed down from father to son through the centuries. They have the beauty and the charm of all that the fancy of a primitive people invents to express its longing for color and radiance to illumine the dull grayness of everyday life. Out of a wealth of available ma terial stories of the most diverse nature have been chosen; stories in which the hero awakens the in stant sympathy of the reader, either by noble self sacrifice, as in Silyerwhj'te and Lillwacker, or by brave persistence, Princess on the Glass Mountain, or b r good luck, as in Lasso, My Thrall. Again we ghzayn tales of the Trolls; folk tales, like th'??? thrilling Charcoal Nils and the Troll Woman, or ghost-stories with a happy ending, such as Torre J eppe; for the clouds of a reader of fairy-tales must have their silver lin ings. There are tales in which the Evil One de servedly plays the part of a loser, and many more. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
