Charles Marelles, for permission to reproduce his versions of the ‘Pied Piper,’ of ‘Drakestail,’ and of ‘Little Golden Hood’ from the French, and M. Henri Carnoy for the same privilege in regard to ‘The Six Sillies’ from _La Tradition_. 12 Lady Frances Balfour has kindly copied an old version of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk,’ and Messrs. 13 Smith and Elder have permitted the publication of two of Mr. Ralston’s versions from the Russian. next → The Twelve Dancing Princesses↑ back to The Red Fairy Book This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg540/1/
