Story outline:

FOLK TALES OF BRITISH ISLES
PART 2 of 3

Folk literature is perhaps the oldest of all literature, handed down orally from generation to generation for centuries.

English folk and fairy tales, like similar tales from other countries, were written down only after invention of printing in the 15th century. Joesph Jacobs (1854-1916) was a folklorist who collect many British and Irish folktales and compiled them. To him we owe ever-popular stories like Jack the Giant Killer, Dick Whittington and The Three Little Pigs. He preserved traditional tales without tampering with their original form or making them models of good behaviour.

This collection is divided into three parts and includes some of the lesser-known stories from England, Scotland and Ireland. Read, among others, tales of the foolish MacAndrew brothers who happily frittered away their fortune, about clever Jack OLantern who tricked even the devil, and the adventures of Conall Yellow Claw

This App is the second part of the 3 part series.
