‘Mr Truelove’
The adventures of a silver three-pence. [1801.]
(4) fairy tales and legends
The stories already accumulated – traditional tales like Jack the giantkiller
and Dick Whittington existing in chapbook form, and the semitraditional
tales translated from Perrault, d’Aulnoy and the Cabinet des
fées authors (see vol 2) – became a common repertory which editors and
publishers varied and used at will. The chief collections made before fresh
matter appeared with the impetus given to the study of Märchen by the
brothers Grimm were: Temple of the fairies, 2 vols 1804 (anon); Popular
stories for the nursery, by Benjamin Tabart [4 vols?] 1809, [1818] (as
Popular fairy tales: or a Liliputian library). One or more tales were issued
separately at various dates. A great increase in the common stock was made by
trns of Grimm, Andersen and others (see under Translations), by wider investigation
of folklore, by the use of Edwin Lane’s version of The Arabian
Nights, and by the invention of new tales. Only the principal general collections
are included here.
