| The Princess Imprisoned in the Summerhouse by H.J. Ford, 1892 from Andrew Lang's Green Fairy Book |
It has been far too long since I posted a collection of public domain books. Here is the seventh in the installment that will continue to for as long as there are stories to share!
Below you will find tales from France, Korea, Serbia, India and more. It always amazes me that we have an endless supply of wonder tales at our fingertips.
I hope you find something wonderful to add to your spring and summer storytelling repertoire.
