Parker Fillmore heard these Czech, Moravian and Slovak tales told aloud and then sought them out in the old collections of Erben, Němcová and others, retelling rather than translating them. Here are the Twelve Months, Zlatovlaska the Golden-Haired, the Shepherd’s Nosegay, Vitazko the Victorious, a nickerman beneath the water and five nursery tales including Budulinek.
A lively collection from Central Europe, a follow-up to his Czechoslovak Fairy Tales, for family story time. Download the free EPUB.
