This early work is Joseph Jacobs’s 1922 collection of traditional English folk-tales, “More English Fairy Tales”. A continuation supplement to “English Fairy Tales” (1890), this wonderful compendium contains a wealth of authentic stories from English folklore, and is highly recommended for all lovers of such stories. Joseph Jacobs (1854–1916) was an Australian literary critic, historian, author, and collector of folklore. Contents include: “Biography of Author”, “The Pied Piper of Franchville”, “Hereafterthis”, “The Golden Ball”, “My Own Self”, “The Black Bull of Norroway”, “Yearly Brown”, “Three Feathers”, “Sir Gammer Vans”, “Tom Hickathrift”, “The Hedley Kow”, “Gobborn Seer”, and many more. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
