"Fairy Tales From All Nations" by Anthony R. Montalba is a collection of fairy tales likely compiled in the mid-19th century. This anthology showcases enchanting tales from various cultures, with an emphasis on the imaginative and moral lessons they convey. The narrative invites readers to explore the rich tapestry of folklore that has delighted audiences across generations. The opening portion of the collection sets the stage by introducing the concept of fairy tales through a charming genesis story where two royal children, unsatisfied despite their lavish surroundings, yearn for something more. Their mother, the queen, wishes for their happiness and is blessed with a marvelous bird that gifts them an opal egg. This egg hatches into the embodiment of the fairy tale itself, promising joy and inspiration, and marking the arrival of magical stories that will forever enrich human experience. Following this introduction, the anthology transitions into individual stories such as "Snow-White and Rosy-Red," hinting at the enchanting and diverse tales that await readers within its pages.
