My most treasured posession

Folk Tales of all Nations, edited by F.H. Lee.

Red hard cover with gold embossing, light foxing to pages. First Edition. 

Some of the stories included:

  • The Spider Which Bought a Dog as a Slave – Northern Nigeria
  • Why the Lizard Continually Moves His Head Up and Down – West Africa
  • The Treasure Chamber of Rhampsinitus – Egypt
  • The Schildburgers??? – Germany
  • The Speaking Grapes, the Smiling Apple and the Tinkling Apricot – Hungary
  • The Booby – Italy (Seriously.)
  • The friendship of the Squirrel and the Creeping Fish – Malay Tale
  • The Story of the home-bred boy – Tibet
  • The Giant who had no heart in his body – Norse Tale

I am having a ball reading these. They are an endless source of inspiration. Currently working on a poetry submission for Blackmail Press. Soaking up these stories for creative fuel.
