To Master Billy Tremayne Miles
A Profound Student
Yet An Amiable Critic
IN a second gleaning of the fields of Fairy Land we cannot expect to find a
second Perrault. But there are good stories enough left, and it is hoped that
some in the Red Fairy Book may have the attraction of being less familiar than
many of the old friends. The tales have been translated, or, in the case of
those from Madame d'Aulnoy's long stories, adapted, by Mrs. Hunt from the Norse,
by Miss Minnie Wright from Madame d'Aulnoy, by Mrs. Lang and Miss Bruce from
other French sources, by Miss May Sellar, Miss Farquharson, and Miss Blackley
from the German, while the story of 'Sigurd' is condensed by the Editor from
Mr. William Morris's prose version of the 'Volsunga Saga.' The Editor has to
thank his friend, M. Charles Marelles, for permission to reproduce his versions
of the 'Pied Piper,' of 'Drakestail,' and of 'Little Golden Hood' from the French,
and M. Henri Carnoy for the same privilege in regard to 'The Six Sillies' from
La Tradition.
Lady Frances Balfour has kindly copied an old version of 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' and Messrs. Smith and Elder have permitted the publication of two of Mr. Ralston's versions from the Russian.
