About the book

"Folk-Lore and Legends: English" is an anthology that illuminates the rich tapestry of English folklore through compelling narratives and vivid storytelling. Each tale, selected from various regions and traditions, highlights the unique cultural motifs and moral lessons inherent in English society. The literary style is both enchanting and accessible, engaging readers with its lyrical prose while preserving the authenticity of oral traditions. The collection is contextually significant, as it showcases the intersection of history, mythology, and social values, offering insight into the collective psyche of the English people during the time it was compiled. The anthology's diverse authorship reflects a cross-section of folklorists, writers, and historians who sought to document the rapidly vanishing oral traditions in the 19th century. Their efforts were driven by a desire to safeguard regional stories against the encroachment of modernization and cultural homogenization. By weaving together these narratives, the authors underscore the importance of folklore as a vessel for cultural identity, continuity, and historical reflection. «Folk-Lore and Legends: English» is highly recommended for those interested in cultural studies, history, and literature. Its engaging tales not only preserve vital narratives but also invite readers to explore the deeper meanings embedded within folklore, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.
