More Letters From Billy, By the Author of “A Sunny Subaltern”.

By: Anon - "Billy"

Further letters from the Front, continuing on from “A Sunny Subaltern, Billy’s Letters from Flanders.” The young Canadian officer continues his adventures, in and out of the trenches. He begins with a quick note to his mother to confirm that he was recovering well from shrapnel wounds in London. After a brief convalescence, he is back in the thick of the fighting, sending one letter to his mother postmarked “In the Field (of mud)”. His naiveté of the first volume is still evident, but is beginning to wane as he becomes almost fatalist in tone toward the later part of the book. In hospital once again with appendicitis, he emotionally recounts his meetings with the many casualties with him, including those gassed and blinded. His letters are packed with the details of his service such as dug-outs, observation posts and the “dreary ditch known as ‘The line.’”. His letters offer a fascinating insight into the First World War at the Front. Collected and posthumously published by his mother, they make for a gripping and atmospheric read. Author — Anon “Billy” Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in Toronto, McClelland, Goodchild and Stewart, 1917. Original Page Count – 121 pages.

By: Anon E. Mouse

Step into a world of star-crossed lovers, magical winds, mischievous giants, and trolls, through some of the most exquisite illustrations in publishing history. In this gorgeous abridged edition, the most ambitious publication project of beloved Danish artist Kay Nielsen, one of the most famous children's book illustrators of all time is revives. First published in 1914, East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a celebrated collection of fairy tales gathered by legendary Norwegian folklorists Peter Christen Asbjornsen and Jorgen Engebretsen Moe on their journeys across Norway in the mid-19th century. Nielsen's illustration edition of Asbjornsen and Moe's tales is considered a jewel of early 20th-century children's literature, highly sought-after by art and book collectors worldwide. An original signed copy of the book sold at auction in 2008 commanded the highest price ever paid for an illustrated children's book. This finely crafted volume presents 15 of the original fairytales, and restores the stunning detail and artistry of Nielsen's images to their original splendour. Featuring 46 illustrations, 25 in colour and 21 Black and White, which include many enlarged details from Nielsen's rare original watercolours. The stories herein explore the history of Danish, Swedish and Norwegian folktales, and show the extent of Nielsen's life and work, and how this masterpiece came to be.

WELSH FAIRY TALES AND OTHER STORIES - 24 children's stories from Wales

By: Anon E. Mouse

This volume contains 24 tales collected in and around Wales by P. H. Emerson whilst living in Anglesea during the winter 1891-2. With the exception of the French story, they were written as they were told to the collector. In most cases he amended them as little as possible, preferring to record the stories as told, staying true to the original, so that the written story would enchant readers as though it were being presented by the storyteller. Herein you will find stories like the Legend Of Gelert, The Fairies Of Caragonan, The Craig-Y-Don Blacksmith, Old Gwilym, The Baby-Farmer, The Old Man And The Fairies and many more. Like most pre-1900 societies, storytelling, mythology and history was an oral tradition and passed on in the same way by specialists such as storytellers or druids. Why do we call such a collection Fairy Tales? Well, when last did you hear a child say ‘One more folk tale please’ or 'Another nursery tale, please, grandma'? Fairy tales are stories in which occurs something 'fairy', something extraordinary--fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals, or the remarkable stupidity of some of the characters. Stories of fairy interaction with humans – where the kind and thoughtful are blessed and the thoughtless and spiteful are punished. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television and radio, a time when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or uncle or auntie would delight and captivate the gathering with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents from time immemorial. YESTERDAY'S BOOKS FOR TODAY'S CHARITIES 10% of the publisher’s profit from the sale of this book will be donated to the Princes Trust. ================== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Welsh, Folklore, fairy tales, fairytales, myths, legends, fairies, caragonan, craig-y-don, blacksmith,old gwilym, baby farmer, old man, tommy pritchard, kaddy's luck, story, gelert, origin of the welsh, crows, Roberts, dell, ellen, mint, pellings, long-lived, giantess, apron, full, fable, pig-trough, irish, billy, duffy, devil, john o' groats, scotch, eva, jersey, fishermen, shetland, pastor, nurse, charity, princess, princes trust, other stories,

A Sunny Subaltern, Billy’s Letters from Flanders

By: Anon - "Billy"

An engaging collection of letters from a young Canadian officer, native to Toronto. His letters begin in late 1915 on the journey across the Atlantic to the European battlefield. He is filled with worldly-wonder and naiveté as he encounters figures as diverse as Colonels to French peasants, and recounts the daily trials and tribulations of the soldiers life in Belgium with wit; for example, he describes his batman as “a soldier paid by you to be absent when you want him.” Particularly interesting is the tone of the narrative in which he attempts to educate his mother of life in the army, and in tone, cheerful beyond modern cyncism. Collected and posthumously published by his mother, they make for a gripping and atmospheric read. Author — Anon “Billy” Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in Toronto, McClelland, Goodchild and Stewart, 1916. Original Page Count – 175 pages.

MANX FAIRY TALES - 45 Children's Stories from the Isle of Mann

By: Anon E. Mouse

THERE is at least one spot in the world where Fairies are still believed in, and where, if you look in the right places, they may still be found, and that is the little island from which these stories come Elian Vannin, or the Isle of Mann. But they are never called Fairies by the Manx, instead they are called the Little People. These Little People are not the tiny creatures with wings who flutter about in many European Fairy tales, but they are small persons from two to three feet in height, much like Ireland’s leprechauns – and why not? Ireland is but a ferry-ride away across the Irish Sea. Herein are 45 fairy and folk tales about the other-worldly, Little People of the Isle of Mann. The stories in this volume are: Themselves The Buggane Of Glen Meay Waterfall How The Manx Cat Lost Her Tail The Making Of Mann The Coming Of Saint Patrick How The Herring Became King Of The Sea The Silver Cup The Child Without A Name The Fairy Doctor Joe Moore’s Story Of Finn Maccooilley And The Buggane The Fynoderee – An Old Song The Fynoderee Of Gordon The Lhondoo And The Ushag-Reaisht Billy Beg, Tom Beg, And The Fairies The Lazy Wife The Mermaid Of Gob Ny Ooyl The Lost Wife Of Ballaleece Smereree Kebeg The Fairy Child Of Close Ny Lheiy The Little Footprints The Tall Man Of Ballacurry Ned Quayle’s Story Of The Fairy Pig Scene: A Village Kitterland Teeval, Princess Of The Ocean The Wizard’s Palace The Enchanted Isle Three Stories About Birds The Moddey Doo Or The Black Dog Of Peel Castle Little Red Bird Tehi Tegi John-Y-Chiarn’s Journey A Bad Wish The Witch Of Slieu Whallian The Old Christmas The Buggane Of St. Trinian’s King Magnus Barefoot Manannan Mac Y Leirr The Cormorant And The Bat Caillagh-Ny-Faashagh, Or The Prophet Wizard The City Under Sea An Ancient Charm Against The Fairies It is said the little people of Mann wear red caps and green jackets and are very fond of hunting indeed they are most often seen on horseback followed by packs of little hounds of all the colours of the rainbow. They are rather inclined to be mischievous, and sometimes spiteful, and that is why they are called by such good names, in case they should be listening! If you look hard enough, you may also find the Fynoderees and the Bugganeswho are totally different to the Little People.. So download this eBook and sit back with a steaming hot beverage and be prepared to be entertained for hours.

POPULAR TALES FROM THE NORSE - 59 Scandinavian Folk Tales

POPULAR TALES FROM THE NORSE - 59 Scandinavian Folk Tales

By: Anon E. Mouse

This is a volume of 59 Scandinavian folk tales originally collected over time by Asbjörnsen and Moe and translated into English by Sir George Webbe-Dasent. This is not a volume of Norse mythology per se; so if you are looking for tales of Odin, Thor, Loki, etc., we would refer you to a volume entitled The Children of Odin. Rather, this volume is more fairy and far less Viking in nature. This is an anthology of 59 Norse-themed folk and fairy tales, similar to those collected by the Grimm Brothers, or those found in Andrew Lang’s Many Coloured Fairy Books. In the 59 tales in this volume, all of the usual suspects are in place, including princes, princesses, fools, peasants who achieve seemingly impossible tasks, giants, trolls, elves, witches, evil step-siblings, magical boons, and anthropomorphic animals and beings, all making for a magical volume of Northern Folk and Fairy Tales. The introduction is exceptionally well written, and places various magical and other themes from the tales into the context of the ancient Norse Pagan beliefs. Once past the introduction, the prose directly addresses young people and young adults, and the delightful stories can be appreciated by readers of all ages. But be warned, despite these tales being magical in character, these are tales from an era when political correctness did not exist. In the words of the translator, “the person who, in such a work, wilfully changes or softens the meaning, is as guilty as they "who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter." So join with us and venture back in time to an age when the world still had a connection to the ethereal. A time when magic was still believed to exist and a time when Trolls, Elves, Nidhogg, Vargr and other magical beings still roamed the earth. YESTERDAY'S BOOKS FOR TOMORROW'S CHARITIES 10% of the net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to Charities. =============== Keywords/TAGS: Popular Tales from the Norse, Viking, Scandinavia, true and untrue, sea, salt, old dame, hen, east of the sun and west of the moon, boots, ate a match, troll, hacon, grizzlebeard, princess, that's a story, twelve ducks, giant, no heart, fox, herdsman, mastermaid, cat, dovrefell, glass hill, woo, cock, master-smith, step-sisters, buttercup, taming, shrew, shortshanks, gudbrand, hill-side, blue belt, bear, stumpy-tailed, pin, choose, between, children, prettiest, whiteland, lassie, godmother, three aunts, cock, cuckoo, blackcock, rich peter, pedlar, gertrude's bird, goosey grizzel, lad, north wind, master thief, best wish, three billy-goats gruff, ill paid, husband, house, dapplegrim, farmer, weathersky, lord peter, seven foals, widow's son, bushy bride, brothers, big peter, little peter, tatterhood, katie woodencloak, thumbikin, deil, a-nutting, big bird, dan, soria moria castle, bruin, Reynard, tom, totherhouse, little annie, goose-girl

JAMAICAN ANANSI TALES AND STORIES

149 Anansi tales and a further 18 Witticisms

By: Anon E. Mouse

THE STORIES in this collection were recorded from the lips of over sixty negro story-tellers in the remote country districts of Jamaica during two visits to the island in the summer of 1919 and the winter of 1921. The role of Anansi, the trickster spider, is akin to the Native American Coyote and the (Southern African) Bantu Hare. Herein you will find 149 Anansi tales and a further 18 Witticisms. The stories are categorised into Animal Stories, Old Stories (chiefly of sorcery), Dance and Song and Witticisms. You will find stories as varied in title and content as “The Fish-Basket”, “The Storm“, “The King's Two Daughters”, “The Gub-Gub Peas”, “Simon Tootoos”, “The Tree-Wife” and many, many more unique tales. In some instances, Martha Warren Beckwith was able to record musical notation to accompany the stories. As such you will find these scattered throughout the book. In this way the original style of the story-telling, which in some instances mingles story, song and dance, is as nearly as possible preserved. Two influences have dominated story-telling in Jamaica, the first an absorbing interest in the magical effect of song which far surpasses that in the action of the story; the second, the conception of the spider Anansi as the trickster hero among a group of animal figures. "Anansi stories" regularly form the entertainment during wake-nights, and it is difficult not to believe that the vividness with which these animal actors take part in the story springs from the idea that they really represent the dead in the underworld whose spirits have the power, according to the native belief, of taking animal form. In the local culture, magic songs are often used in communicating with the dead, and the obeah-man who sets a ghost upon an enemy often sends it in the form of some animal; hence there are animals which must be carefully handled lest they be something other than they appear. The importance of animal stories is further illustrated by the fact that animal stories form the greater part of this volume. 33% of the net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to Sentebale, a charity supporting children orphaned by AIDS in Lesotho.

THE OLIVE FAIRY BOOK - Illustrated Edition

29 Illustrated Fairy Tales

By: Anon E. Mouse

This extraordinary volume contains 37 old and forgotten folk and fairy tales including stories like stories Lovely Ilonka, Lucky Luck, The Hairy Man, To Your Good Health! and The Story of the Seven Simons. It also contains Russian, German, French, Icelandic, American (Red) Indian, and other tales from around the world. There was a time when the president of the Folk Lore Society believed it was not acceptable for the editors of the day, in particular Mr Andrew Lang and Mr. Joseph Jacobs, to publish fairy books. Their reply was that they did not see any harm in it, and they were ready to 'put themselves on their country,' and be tried by a jury of children. And so they were proving the President of the FLS wrong. This book also contains many references to fairies. As to whether there are really any fairies or not, is a difficult question. Andrew Lang never saw any himself, but he knew several people who have seen them-in the Highlands-and heard their music. If ever you are near Nether Lochaber, go to the Fairy Hill, and you may hear the music your-self, as grown-up people have done, but you must go on a fine day. If fairies really do not exist, why do so many people believe in them, the world over? The ancient Greeks, the old Egyptians, the Hindus, the Chinese, the Africans and even the Native Americans claim to have seen them and it is unlikely that so many different peoples would have seen and heard them? The Editor cannot say 'good-bye' without advising children, as they pursue their studies, to read The Rose and the Ring, by the late Mr. Thackeray. He believes this book is quite indispensable in every child's library, and parents should be urged to purchase it at the first opportunity, as without it no education is really complete.

SANDMAN'S GOODNIGHT STORIES - 28 illustrated children's bedtime stories

By: Anon E. Mouse

On the borders of the “Land o’ Dreams” and broad daylight, the real and the unreal are so strangely blended that children are puzzled to know where the boundary lies. It is from this land that these 28 illustrated bedtime stories in this volume are taken. Herein you will find stories like: The Eatyoup The Tell-Tale Goblin The Peacock Butterflies The Little China Shepherdess How The Buttercup Grew Yellow Inquisitive Mr. Possum When Jack Frost Was Young The Wind-Flower's Story Orianna Old North Wind; and many, many more. These stories are taken from that dream-place where good wishes come true: where the poor and the lonely are rich in castles and have friends: and where sorrowful folk are happy. Here you will hear the birds singing and children laughing, all day long. The trees are full of blossom and fruit. The sky is always blue, the grass green and soft. Under the trees dwell the fairies, and against the blue sky you will sometimes see the sheen of angels’ wings as they flit by. We invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Bedtime Fairy culture not seen in print for many-a-year, and immerse yourself and your children in the tales and fables of yesteryear. ---------------------------- KEYWORDS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, fairies, elves, pixies, pixy, pisky, piskies, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, Eatyoup, Tell-Tale, Goblin, Dame Cricket, Playroom Wedding, Morning-Glory, Peacock Butterflies, Revenge, Gnomes, Little China, Shepherdess, How The Buttercup Grew Yellow, Field Fairy, Frogs, Fairies, Jack The Preacher, Mr. Crow, Tells, Discontented Dewdrop, Inquisitive, Possum, Flowers, Martha, Jack Frost, Young, Fireflies, Sallie Hicks, Forefinger, Rain Elves, Mr. Fox, Housewarming, Pitcher-Man, Wind-Flower's Story, Pussy Willow, Furs, Orianna, Old North Wind, Cottontails, Little Never-Upset

Like so many homosexuals, he began life as an average, normal young man repulsed by the very word "homosexual." In Hollywood, he had many women as his lovers, and the movie star he married also had many lovers. It was a sad, gay, crazy world in which the star today is the has-been of tomorrow. As age reached out and touched him, this man, too, felt the fear that clutches everyone who sells a face and a body to the public. He turned to writing, became successful. Alone, lonely, finding no satisfaction with the many women with whom he had affairs, he found himself in a Third Avenue bar one night, being picked up by a young boy. From there on in, he was caught, trapped, in the world of the homosexual, the world of all the sad young men who are neither men nor women, only lost souls.

JACK and JILL and OLD DAME GILL - all 15 illustrated verses of this classic rhyme

By: Anon E. Mouse

Contained herein are all 15 verses to this well-known children’s poem. But, who was the original author of the nursery rhyme “Jack and Jill” who went up the hill? In truth, no-one knows. It is thought to be a “nonsense” poem although there are a few truisms contained in the lines. In the 18thC. vinegar and brown paper were used to draw bruises out. But, who ever heard of someone going “uphill” to draw water? In most cases people talking about going “down” to the river or well to draw water. The phrase "Jack and Jill" was in use in England as early as the 16th century to indicate a boy and a girl. A comedy with the title Jack and Jill was performed at the Elizabethan court in 1567-68, and the phrase was used twice by Shakespeare: in A Midsummer Night's Dream, but the poem did not eventuate until the 18th C. We know this because the earliest known printed version comes from a reprint of John Newbery's “Mother Goose's Melody”, thought to have been first published in London around 1765. Here, we have used the illustrated edition published by publisher J. Aldis (first name unknown) of London in 1806. That this volume with illustrations has survived for over 200 years is to say the least, amazing. So we invite you to download a copy of this highly amusing, but accident-prone, pair to read to your children at bedtime. No doubt as they discover the “new” verses they will have you reading and re-reading this books time and again. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Jack and Jill, old dame Gill, went up the hill, fetch, pale of water, Jack fell down, broke his crown, Jill, came tumbling after, trot, caper, plaster his nob, Vinegar, brown paper, paper plaster, mother scold, fools cap, laughing, disaster, pout, run out, follow, rode, ride, dog Ball, fall, hollow, holler, tumble, lie, judge, grumble, grin, plagued, Will Goat, Billy Goat, cry, knock, back, abate, play, sea-saw, gate, high, low, swing, give way, throw, Pigsty, Sow, prancer, jump, rump, droll, dance, squalled, squealed, bawled, choir, mire, not hurt, cover, dirt, jump, water pump, clean, rout, horse-whip, door, roar, sows ear, rear, twiter, supper, cup, good night

ENGLISH FAIRY AND OTHER FOLK TALES - 74 illustrated children's stories from Old England

By: Anon E. Mouse

Herein you will find 74 illustrated children’s stories from Old England. This is a collection of fairy tales, folk tales and other stories categorised into Ghosts, Goblins, Fairies, Historical and Legends, Nursery Tales, Giants, and Witchcraft. Tales include, The Haunted House, The Witch And The Toad, The Fairy Thieves, The Fairy Funeral, Jack And The Bean-Stalk, The Legend Of The Sons Of The Conqueror, The Blinded Giant, The Demon Tregeagle, The Haunted Widower, Spectre-Dogs, The Wise Fools Of Gotham, and many, many more. These tales serve to justify the title of “Merrie England”, a title which in older days was given to England, indicating the nation’s capacity for fun and humour among the English. The story of Tom Tit Tot, which opens the collection, is unequalled among all other folk-tales, for its combined sense of humour and dramatic power. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television, or even radio for that matter, when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or an uncle or aunt would delight and captivate their audience with stories passed on to them from their mothers, fathers and grandparents. ======= KEYWORDS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, English Fairy Tales, English Folk Tales, enchanting, castle, fair maids, love, youth, flowers, fate, ungrateful, gold, fairies, spring, summer, illustrated, illustrations, Jack, Giant-Killer, Princess, Canterbury, Colchester, Mr. Fox, Tom Tit Tot, Jack, Bean-Stalk, Historical, Local, Saint Kenelm, Wild Edric, Lady Godiva, Sons Of The Conqueror, Becket's Parents, Fause Fable, Lord Lathom, Whittington, Cat, Pedlar, Swaffham, Lambton Worm, Bomere Pool, Giants, Wrekin, wreakin, Blinded Giant, Worcestershire, Midwife, Adventure, Cherry, Zennor, Funeral, Piskies, Cellar, Edwin, Sir Topaz, Serving, Damsels, Tulip Bed, Fisherman, Piskies, Colman Grey, King, Queen, prince, Midridge, Green Children, Banquet, Horn, Fair, Caldron, Cauld Lad, Hilton, Hylton, Thieves, Boggart, Ainsel, Rollright Stones, Goblins, Dando, Dogs, Demon Tregeagle, Parson, Clerk, Outwit, Bogie, Hunted Hare, Well, St. Ludgvan, Hedley Kow, Witchcraft, Lord, Pengerswick, Witch, Toad, Hare, Hand Of Glory, Betty Chidley, Bag, Flour, Kentsham, Bell, Ghosts, Bishop, Clergyman, Haunted House, Ghost-Laying, Roaring Bull, Bagbury, White Lady, Blenkinsopp, Haunted, Widower, Rosewarne, Lady, Lantern, Spectre, Dogs, Billy B, Drolls, Wise Fools, Gotham, Three Wishes, Miller, Professor, Examination, Stupid, Mistaken, Cries, Three Sillies, Mr. Vinegar, Lazy Jack, Tom Thumb
