Synopsis "Child's Book of Old Fashioned Tales II: Fairy Tales, Stories, and Rhymes (in English)"
The Child's Book of Old Fashioned Fairy Tales II is meant to be read aloud. Mme. deChatelain was a premier translator of Grimm and Anderson in Victorian England and is well known for her eloquent sense of language. All the fairy tales are beautifully told with a challenging vocabulary. The book contains a glossary of old fashioned terms and phrases easily accessible at the back. There are significant variations from the fairy tales and stories as they are told today. The Story of the Three Bear features Little Silver hair instead of Goldilocks, Cinderella's step sisters are not quite so ugly and evil as today's versions. Princess Rosetta combines the isolation in the tower popularized by Rapunzel the quest of her brothers to free their sister, and the efforts of her dogs to save them all; while The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods adds the opportunity for Beauty's father to regain his wealth only to be beset by his creditors. The Story of Bold Robin Hood casts the Sheriff of Nottingham as a greedy buffoon and makes the real enemy the land hungry Abbot and monks of the Fountain Abbey. Little Goody Two Shoes teaches basic reading skills and tells of a girl skilled in science. Who Killed Cock Robin teaches the recognition of numerous species of birds. The Old Woman and Her Eggs, Old Mother Goose, and The House that Jack Built are the concluding rhymes with Mme. De Chatelain's original fairy tale Up! Horsie!. The original Victorian illustrations are interspersed throughout.
