River Legends pairs the great rivers of England and Germany as the settings for two parallel collections of myth and folklore. Baron Brabourne — a Victorian storyteller of considerable charm — gathers tales of water-sprites, enchanted fishermen, and riverbank spirits that have haunted the Thames and Rhine for centuries, weaving them into a delightful volume aimed at younger readers but enjoyed by all ages.
An endearing example of the Victorian folklore revival, this book draws on both indigenous tradition and literary invention. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted and ideal for reading on any device.
