Celtic Fairy Tales
The Floating Press 2008; US$ 7.95The success of a fairy book, I am convinced, depends on the due admixture of the comic and the romantic: Grimm and Asbjörnsen knew this secret, and they alone.

English Fairy Tales
The Floating Press 1907; US$ 7.95We have called our stories Fairy Tales though few of them speak of fairies (For some recent views on fairies and tales about fairies, see Notes.)
