The True Story Book (Annotated Author's Edition) Overview
This book is annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer.
"Annotated Author's Edition" comprises the best fiction ever written in history, every single work annotated with biographical sketches, reviews and much more. This series offers a large range of out-of-print books and long-lost titles, as well as million sellers that form the essentials of literature. By buying a book from this series you can count on top quality. All books have been digitally revised and optimized for Kindle, including an interactive table-of-contents for easy browsing. We do not sell cheap scanned stuff, all our books must meet our own high standards of reading. If you like to find more books from this series, please use the Amazon search field within the Kindle store and type "Annotated Author's Edition". This will show you the whole range, which grows constantly and almost day-by-day.
The book: "The True Story-Book" is excursion into the actual workaday world of the real, showing how attractive and strange the truth may be. Though there is not a dragon in the collection, nor even a giant nor a witch nor a fairy, there are plenty of princes and heroes of a very interesting and romantic type. Twenty-four tales of adventure taken from the histories of the world form the contents. Among them are the stories of Grace Darling, Kaspar Hauser, Baron Trenck, Prince Charlie's wanderings, the conquest of Montezuma's empire, the escape of Caesar Borgia, etc., etc. The children will enjoy this book just as much as a fairy-tale book, in spite of its name, as it has all the elements of fairy lore, with the merit of being true.
