Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wonder Garden: Nature Myths and Tales From All the World Over for Story-Telling and Reading Aloud and for the Children´s Own Reading When stripped of their repellent elements, - for all mythologies, classical or otherwise, contain such elements, - these tales are most delightful and fanciful, and invest flowers, birds, and nature as a whole with poetic charm that pleases children as does a fairy-tale. "Mariora Floriora," "Maiden White and Maiden Yellow," the Iroquois "Legend of the Corn," and the other delicate, graceful, and symbolic nature myths, presented here, cover a wide range, coming from all over the World, - from Japan, China, Finland, Eskimo-land, Red Indian-land, Norway, Russia, France, Ireland, Wales, Friesland, Roumania, Persia, and Arabia. In retelling the classic Greek and Roman myths, great care has been taken to preserve their classical features, as well as to emphasize their poetic elements. The tales, with few exceptions, have been retold directly from good translations of Homer, Bion, Moschus, Anacreon, Hesiod, Ovid, and other classic writers. Hence they have a freshness and vigour that could not be theirs if retold from adapted material. A few modern tales have been added to complete the volume.
