About this listen

A collection of stories drawn from some of the finest early 20th-century works on folklore and mythology.

Compiled from carefully chosen volumes, this edition brings together works that have remained quietly preserved in earlier publications, now available again for new audiences to discover.

The Collection includes:

  • The Book of Elves and Fairies for Story-Telling and Reading Aloud by Frances Jenkins Olcott
  • The Junior Classics Volume 1: Fairy and Wonder Tales by William Allan Neilson, William Patten and Charles William Eliot
  • Tales of Folk and Fairies by Katharine Pyle

Inside, you'll encounter enchanted princesses, mischievous elves, mysterious spirits, shape-shifting animals, and noble heroes facing trials beyond imagination. Whether it's the delicate retellings of Katharine Pyle, offering graceful versions of beloved fairy tales, or the rich global selections curated by master editors like William Allan Neilson, William Patten, and Charles William Eliot, every story carries its own touch of magic.

These timeless narratives draw from a tapestry of world folklore, blending European classics with echoes from faraway cultures. Each tale offers not only entertainment but a glimpse into the values, fears, and hopes that have captivated humanity for centuries.

Ideal for both devoted fans of folklore and those discovering these enchanting stories for the first time, this collection serves as both a nostalgic treasure and a fresh doorway into the enduring realm of fairy tales.
