Storytelling is a universal instinct, and stories of human heroes strike a perennial chord in every person's heart. Primitive man told stories in an attempt to account for his own existence and that of the world around him. When reading was the privelege of a very few, stories were the means by which people learned of their heritage and held on to cherished traditions. Professional storytellers never lacked for an audience, even today's children demand stories (usually insisting that the tale be told in the exact same words every time). Man's tradition is rich in stories, and stories of heroes are among the most lasting - as well as the most fun. Few countries are as rich in stories of heroes as England, and Christina Hole, in her now classic work English Folk Heroes, illuminates the tradition of the English hero as it has rarely been done before. The lives and legends of King Arthur, Robin Hood, St. George, Thomas a Beckett and many others are retold here in prose that is as lively as its' subjects.

Magic Songs of the Finns (Folklore History Series)

In a world where every possible object possesses a spirit and to gain its help or incur its anger is a real possibility. Small chants or songs where sung to the spirits to ask them for help with a hunt or to cure a sick family member. This collection of magic songs and creation myths is a must for anybody wishing to capture the sound and passion of a very special culture. 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.
