Excerpt from Ancient Tales From Many Lands: A Collection of Folk Stories Before Miss Fleming became known for her work on behalf of the Geographical Association, she had attained a reputation among teachers for her wide reading of folk traditions, and her skill in using folk tales for teach ing children social geography and history. By reading the tales in the original in several languages, and in literal translations by native writers in most others, Miss Fleming has tried to get at the spirit of the tales, and her scientific Spirit is well shown in the choice of illustrations for this book. Teachers will welcome illustrations that are in the spirit of tradition, and the children who read the book will be even more pleased by them. Interpretations are suggested, and comments added, from the point of view of the researcher, and Miss Fleming's high standard has recently been brought out by her valued contributions to both the Geographical and the Anthropological Sections of the British Associa tion for the Advancement of Science at Edinburgh, 1921. There is thus behind the present book, in spite of its simplicity of form and directness of appeal, a long course of reading and thought, a weight of learning, and an almost unique successful teaching experience, a combination rare enough to give the book a special interest.
