5.0 out of 5 stars
fun collection of gypsy folk tales,
By
This review is from: The Fish Bride and Other Gypsy Tales (Library Binding)
(from the jacket liner) "Presented here are sixteen Gypsy folktales, as well as proverbs and sayings, that are written for young people. These stories take place in palaces and humble cottages, but also in the open road, where the Gypsy traditionally felt most at home. The characters are often surrounded by enchantment and sometimes deal in magic."
Stories include: Piccolo (about doing what's best for YOU, not what people tell you to do) The Starry Loom The Lion, The Fox, and the Bird (the little Bird takes advantage of the Lion and the Fox. Noodle (a boy is duped by a cunning man, and loses his possesions) The Evil Eye (a girl's selfless acts are rewarded) Clever Marco The Fish Bride The Black Dog The Kettle Which Filled Itself Jack and the Green Man Biddy Oak The Haunted Inn (a man is bewitched after cheating a Gypsy) King of the Moon The Gypsy Harper Lallah Pombo (the youngest daughter of a Gypsy caravan is the unlikely heroine) |
