书籍简介

这是一个黄金宝库，收录了一百多个英国民间故事，这些故事在过去几个世纪中开始被收集。阅读这些经典的故事，就像在讲故事是一种活生生的艺术时那样--那时观众相信有沼泽和霍布格林、地方魔法师、幽灵和巨人、狡猾的狐狸和皇家青蛙。在这里，我们可以看到 "巨人杀手杰克"、"汤姆-托特 "和其他典型的英国人喜爱的故事，还有一些有趣的借用作品，如格林姆斯的 "小白雪公主 "的英国版本，以及睡前惊吓作品，包括查尔斯-狄更斯小时候的护士告诉他的 "可怕船长"。

尼尔-菲利普为每个故事提供了完整的介绍和来源说明，说明了每个故事从口到页的过程，以及它们在途中发生的事情。这些故事以其丰富的隐喻和情节以及巨大的言语冲动和大胆，跻身于有史以来较好的英国短篇小说之列。

This is a golden treasury of over one hundred English folktales captured in the form they were first collected in past centuries. Read these classic tales as they would have been told when storytelling was a living art - when the audience believed in boggarts and hobgoblins, local witches and will-o'-the-wisps, ghosts and giants, cunning foxes and royal frogs. Find "Jack the Giantkiller", "Tom Tit Tot" and other quintessentially English favourites, alongside interesting borrowings, such as an English version of the Grimms' "Little Snow White" - as well as bedtime frighteners, including "Captain Murderer", as told to Charles Dickens by his childhood nurse.

Neil Philip has provided a full introduction and source notes on each story that illustrate each tale's journey from mouth to page, and what has happened to them on the way. These tales rank among the finest English short stories of all time in their richness of metaphor and plot and their great verbal dash and daring.
