Legends from River & Mountain
The first ten of these stories are taken from the German of Carmen Sylva, who has kindly given the translator her special permission to add them to the following collection of legends. The originals are to be found in her charming volumes of Roumanian tales: Pelesch Mrchen and Durch die Jahrhunderte. Many of them are associated with the mountains which surround her home among the pine-woods of Sinaia; others belong to the districts traversed by the Pelesch river, the merry stream that dashes through the ravine at the foot of her garden, whispering all sorts of wonders and secrets to those who have ears to hear. The remaining tales in the volume are collected from different parts of Germany. The Little Glass-man, a legend of the Black Forest, is taken from Hauffs Mrchen; the other stories are all compiled from, or founded upon, legends to be met with in various German collections, such as Ziehnerts, Prhles, &c.[1] Most of them, however, are there set forth in so condensed a form, and with such scanty detail, that they could hardly prove of interest as stories, and therefore, they have in sundry cases been somewhat[Pg vi] amplified and developed; or, where there was a resemblance between several legends belonging to different districts, indicating that they had a common source, their varying incidents have been worked into one tale. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
