"Cow Bu-cola" (Iceland)
"Girl in the Basket" (Italy)
"Gold Knob" (Iceland)
"Good Ogre" (Russia)
"Green Bird" (Sicily)

This is a 1973 anthology of 13 fairy tales from around the world that have been collected and retold by Ruth Manning-Sanders. It is one in a long series of such anthologies by the author. It has one of my very favorite Manning-Sanders tales: "Jon and the Troll Wife," a tale in monsters are not the monsters they're cracked up to be and a little kindness goes a long, long way. All of these tales are winners, though!
