{"product_id":"the-science-of-fairy-tales-edwin-sidney-hartland-9781445508399","title":"The Science of Fairy Tales: An Inquiry into Fairy Mythology","description":"This early work is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. The chief object of this volume is to exhibit, in a manner acceptable to readers who are not specialists, the application of the principles and methods which guide investigations into popular traditions to a few of the most remarkable stories embodying the Fairy superstitions of the Celtic and Teutonic peoples. This is a fascinating investigation by an industrious and scrupulous author that is thoroughly recommended reading for all those interested in the popular mythology and folklore of Europe. Contents: The Art of Story-telling; Savage Ideas; Fairy Births and Human Midwives; Changlings; Robberies from Fairyland; The Supernatural Laps of Time in Fairyland; Swan-Maidens; Conclusion. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edwin Sidney Hartland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1445508397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445508399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hewlett Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.85d","brand":"Edwin Sidney Hartland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123675590911,"sku":"9781445508399","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a92946f4-d4d9-4a84-9974-a44e8d4a2142.jpg?v=1687432213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-science-of-fairy-tales-edwin-sidney-hartland-9781445508399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
