Hamilton Wright Mabie gathers the stories he thought belonged in every childhood, from the German household tales of Hansel and Grethel, the Golden Goose and the Twelve Brothers to French court fairy tales like the White Cat and the Fair One with the Golden Locks. Aladdin, Ali Baba and Sindbad arrive from the Arabian Nights, and Mabie’s introduction defends fairy tales as poetry of the imagination.
