"In this volume Richard Adams, the master story-teller of Watership Down, Shardik, The Plague Dogs and most recently The Girl in a Swing, has collected together nineteen enchanting folk-tales from almost as many parts of the world - from Europe to China and from Polynesia to the Arctic Circle.
In order to preserve as far as possible the immediacy and directness of authentic folk story-telling, each of the nineteen tales is presented s being told by an imagined narrator to one or more hearers at a particular time and place, sometimes past, sometimes present."
