Drawn from the dozens of short stories for children that Juliana Horatia Ewing published in magazines over the course of her career, Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales is a delightful and vibrant collection of fairy tales and folktales that will enrapture readers of all ages. Some of the tales are new twists on classic favorites, while others are Ewing's own creations cleverly configured to mimic the style and format of traditional fairy tales.
