The object of this work is to familiarize young students with the legends which form the staple of mediaeval literature. While they may owe more than is apparent at first sight to the classical writings of the palmy days of Greece and Rome, these legends are very characteristic of the people who told them, and they are the best exponents of the customs, manners, and beliefs of the time to which they belong.... It is extensively illustrated throughout and will appeal greatly to all historians. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This book contains reproductions of the famous Cottingley fairies together with a detailed analysis of their authenticity by British writer Author Conan Doyle. The Cottingley fairies were a series of five photographs taken by two young cousins who resided in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. The photographs purportedly captured images of fairies, and gained widespread attention at the time. They were later admitted to be fakes by the girls—except one, which Frances maintained was in fact real and the inspiration or the forgeries. Contents include: “How The Matter Arose”, “The First Published Account–'Strand' Christmas Number, 1920”, “Reception Of The First Photographs”, “The Second Series”, “Observations Of A Clairvoyant In The Cottingley Glen, August 1921”, “Independent Evidence For Fairies”, “Some Subsequent Cases”, “The Theosophic View Of Fairies”, etc. Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a British writer most famous for his detective novels that feature Sherlock Holmes. Other notable works by this author include: “The Mystery of Cloomber” (1888) and “Sir Nigel” (1906). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Аннотация
«Никто на свете не знает столько сказок, сколько знает их Оле-Лукойе. Вот мастер рассказывать! Вечером, когда дети спокойно сидят за столом или на скамеечках, является Оле-Лукойе. В одних чулках он неслышно поднимается по лестнице, потом осторожно приотворяет дверь и брызжет детям в глаза сладким молоком, – в руках у него маленькая спринцовка, которая выбрасывает молоко тоненькой струйкой. Тогда веки у всех начинают слипаться, и дети уж не могут разглядеть Оле, а он подкрадывается к ним сзади и начинает легонько дуть им в затылок. Подует – и детские головки поникнут. Но это не больно, – Оле-Лукойе ведь ничего плохого не замышляет, он хочет только, чтобы дети угомонились, а утихомирятся они не раньше, чем их уложишь в постель. И как только они затихнут, он начинает рассказывать им сказки…»

«Деревня Шалайка засела в страшной лесной глуши, на высоком берегу реки Чусовой. Колесная дорога кончалась в Шалайке, а дальше уже некуда было и ехать. Да никто и не приезжал в Шалайку, за исключением одного священника, жившего в Боровском заводе, до которого считали тридцать верст. Когда он приезжал, то постоянно удивлялся, что у всей деревни одна фамилия – Шалаевы. Собственно, даже фамилии не было, а только прозвище по деревне…»
