Once upon a time there was a woman, and she baked five pies. And when they came out of the oven, they were that overbaked the crusts were too hard to eat. So she says to her daughter: "Darter," says she, "put you them there pies on the shelf, and leave 'em there a little, and they'll come again."—She meant, you know, the crust would get soft. But the girl, she says to herself: "Well, if they'll come again, I'll eat 'em now." And she set to work and ate 'em all, first and last. Well, come supper-time the woman said: "Go you, and get one o' them there pies. I dare say they've come again now." The girl went and she looked, and there was nothing but the dishes. So back she came and says she: "Noo, they ain't come again."

97 of 100 people found the following review helpful. Decent English Fairy Tales By Amazon Customer These stories were written in a rough tone and have an unpolished feel to them. This is not necessarily a detraction, and some tales were better than other, but it was occasionally wearying to read them in the poor grammar of colloquial speech. Hence, four stars. Also, it lacks an interactive table of contents.Tales included are;Tom Tit TotThe Three SilliesThe Rose-TreeThe Old Woman and Her PigHow Jack Went to Seek His FortuneMr. VinegarNix Nought NothingJack HannafordBinnorieMouse and MouserCap o'RushesTeeny-TinyJack and the BeanstalkThe Story of the Three Little PigsThe Master and His PupilTitty Mouse and Tatty MouseJack and his Golden Snuff-BoxThe Story of the Three BearsJack the Giant-KillerHenny-PennyChilde RowlandMolly WhuppieThe Red EttinThe Golden ArmTHe History of Tom ThumbMr. FoxLazy JackJohnny-CakeEarl Mar's DaughterMr. MiaccaWhittington and his CatThe Strange VisitorThe Laidly Worm of Spindleston HeughThe Cat and the MouseThe Fish and the RingThe Magpie's NestKate CrackernutsThe Cauld Lad of HiltonThe Ass, the Table and the StickFairy OintmentThe Well of the World's EndMaster of All MastersThe Three Heads of the Well
63 of 65 people found the following review helpful. Collected by Joseph Jacobs By Mariana Chaffee This is, in fact, the collection of stories that Joseph Jacobs collected in the late 19th or early 20th century, inspired by the work of the Brothers Grimm. Jacobs traveled throughout the countryside of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and he wrote the stories down as much as possible in the language in which they were told to him -- old fashioned folklore collection. These collections used to be available in Dover Editions, although I don't know if they are still. (Do Dover books ever go out of print???) The table of contents is not navigable, which could be a nuisance, but free is a good price. You could try constructing your own "table of contents" using bookmarks or highlights....The stories are enjoyable, and fun to read aloud to kids. I'd give it 5 stars if the table of contents were navigable, take off 2 for the nuisance factor, add one because it's free. Four seems fair.
38 of 38 people found the following review helpful. What fairy tales are meant to be! By A Customer Okay, it's not totally 'PC', but this book is true to the spirit of childrens stories. Along with the classics (e.g. Jack the Giant Killer and Tom Thumb) there are lesser-known tales full of real suspense, action, ghosts, magic, realy wicked stepmothers, love lost, imps, and fairies. And no guns. It provides the little stressors that Disney doesn't, so that the effect is genuine - real anxiety, and real relief at the point of resolution. You can never be sure that there will be a wedding at the end of any story.The book has beautiful word-play and rhythm, along with classic sketched illustrations - A keeper for all time.
