Told
in the Coffee House: Turkish Tales collected by Cyrus Adler and Allan Ramsay, 1898. According to the
author, “Some of the stories…are adaptations
of those already known in Arabic and Persian literature, but the Turkish mind
gives them a new setting and a peculiar philosophy.” http://tinyurl.com/hjkxxn6
Viking
Tales by Jennie Hall, 1902. “These Norse stories have… three values…the love of truth,
the hardy endurance, the faithfulness to plighted word, that make them a
child's fit companions.”
