What reading level is European Folk And Fairy Tales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1889 the following suggestion was made by Mr. (now Sir) James G. Frazer in an essay on the "Language of Animals, " in the ArchcBological Review, i. , p. 84: " In the case of authors who wrote before the invention of printing, scholars are familiar with the process of comparing the various MSS. Of a single work in order from such a comparison to reconstruct the archetype or original MS. , from which the various existing MSS. Are derived. Similarly in Folk-Lore, by comparing the different vers...ions of a single tale, it may be possible to arrive, with tolerable certainty, at the original story, of which the different versions are more or less imperfect and incorrect representations. " Independently of Sir James Frazer's suggestion, which I have only recently come across, I have endeavoured in the present book to carry it out as applied to a considerable number of the common formulae of European folk-tales, and I hope in a succeeding volume to complete the task and thus give to the students of the folk-tale as close approach as possible to the original form of the common folk- tales of Europe as the materials at our disposal permit.
