Indian Fairy Tales, Joseph Jacobs, sentence 36

From all these sources--from the Jatakas, from the Bidpai, and from the more recent collections--I have selected those stories which throw most light on the origin of Fable and Folk-tales, and at the same time are most likely to attract English children.

Who acts: I, stories · What happens: select, throw, be, attract · To what, where: stories, sources, most light, origin, English children
