Description
Excerpt from The Arabian Nights
The stories in the Fairy Books have generally been such as old women in country places tell to their grandchildren. Nobody knows how old they are, or who told them first, The children of Ham, Shem, and Japhet may have listened to them in the Ark, on wet days. Hector''s little boy may have heard them in Troy Town, for it is certain that Homer knew them, and that some of them were written down in Egypt about the time of Moses.
