FOLK-LORE AND LEGENDS
English
(Ref: 155)
The collector of these tales refers to himself as C.J.T. in the preface nut but
no full name is given. It is thought to be Charles John Tibbitts. He starts
with the following
“THE old English Folklore Tales are fast dying out. The simplicity of
character necessary for the retaining of old memories and beliefs is being
lost, more rapidly in England, perhaps, than in any other part of the world.
Our folk are giving up the old myths for new ones. Before remorseless
"progress," and the struggle for existence, the poetry of life is being quickly
blotted out.”
Published in 1890 this book as a good and interesting collection of these
tales.
