Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Everyman´s Library: For Young People "When we came to the door of gold, The pipes within did whistle and play." The Fairyland that is entered through the golden door of this book is pictured in tales and rhymes that have all been told at one time or another to English children. Some of these tales have been forgotten and some have been lost or long-buried, and so there are several that will seem new to you who read them here to-day. Such a story is that of the elfin Green-Knight, which is a case of a delightful old fairy-tale that grew into as delightful a romance. A romance indeed is little else than a fairy-tale for older folk; and with an eye to the close kinship between the two the first part of this book of "Fairy-Gold" tries to show in a new way how the fairy-tale-tellers and the romancers "swapped" (as school-boys say) their good things. There you have a story like that of King Arthur and the Giant of St. Michael´s Mount, which comes from that noble old romancer, Sir Thomas Malory. For a fairy-tale, like a cat, has nine lives; it can pass into many queer shapes, and yet not die. You may cut off its head, or drown it in sentiment or sea-water, or tie a moral to its tail; but it will still survive, and be found sitting safe by the fire some winter night.
