Tales 1.1: Fairy Tales and Fables

Fairy Tales and Fables is a compilation of well-loved childhood stories from master storytellers Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Aesop. Intended for first year students studying within the confines of a Charlotte Mason education, twelve fairy tales and twelve fables have been chosen for slow and careful reading across a thirty-six week school year as laid out in the accompanying Teacher’s Guide and Lesson Plan. This is in keeping with Miss Mason’s own programme for Literature as established in the late nineteenth century.

Delight your students with the traditional versions of much loved favourites, such as The Snow Queen, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, and The Mermaid, and share in the excitement of discovering some lesser known gems like The Marsh King’s Daughter. All these stories have been taken from popular Victorian editions of the works and retain the richness and beauty of the old language.

To get the most out of this book we highly recommend the teacher’s guide, which can be purchased individually or as part of a special bundle here.
