Episode description
The most careless readers can hardly fail to see that many of the Tales in this volume have the same groundwork as those with which they have been familiar from their earliest youth.
They are Nursery Tales, in fact, of the days when there were tales in nurseries--old wives' fables, which have faded away before the light of gas and the power of steam. (Excerpt from Popular Tales from the Norse.)
