Fifty Famous Stories Retold (version 2)

James Baldwin (1841 - 1925)

Some have a slight historical value; some are useful as giving point to certain great moral truths; others are products solely of the fancy, and are intended only to amuse. Some are derived from very ancient sources, and are current in the literature of many lands; some have come to us through the ballads and folk tales of the English people; a few are of quite recent origin (Excerpt from text)

Genre(s): Children's Fiction, Myths, Legends & Fairy Tales, Historical
