English Fairy Tales By Joseph Jacobs A word or two as to our title seems necessary. We have called our stories Fairy Tales though few of them speak of fairies. The same remark applies to the collection of the Brothers Grimm and to all the other European collections, which contain exactly the same classes of tales as ours. Yet our stories are what the little ones mean when they clamour for "Fairy Tales," and this is the only name which they give to them. One cannot imagine a child saying, "Tell us a folk-tale, nurse," or "Another nursery tale, please, grandma." As our book is intended for the little ones, we have indicated its contents by the name they use. The words "Fairy Tales" must accordingly be taken to include tales in which occurs something "fairy," something extraordinary--fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals. It must be taken also to cover tales in which what is extraordinary is the stupidity of some of the actors.

Children love jump tales and this one is perfectly sized for even the littlest to remember after hearing a few times. Every fall the leaves drift down until the teeny tiny woman's house is buried, but this year she has a few surprises up her teeny tiny sleeves! This clever new story, starring a popular character from folklore, will be a BIG storytime favorite!

Once upon a time a teeny tiny woman goes out for a teeny tiny walk. She finds a teeny tiny bone which she takes home and puts in a cupboard by her teeny tiny bed. After a while, she hears a teeny tiny voice say, Give me my bone The voice gets closer and louder until finally she can take no more.
