Summary "Polish Fairy Tales" by A. J. Gliński is a collection of folklore stories from Poland, likely compiled in the mid-19th century. This anthology features enchanting tales that reveal the magical world of Polish folklore, including characters like princes, princesses, frogs, and magical creatures. The stories are rooted in the rich cultural traditions of the Polish peasantry and reflect themes of love, adventure, and transformation. The opening of the collection introduces the tale of "The Frog Princess," where a king wishes to pass on his crown to one of his three sons, the condition being that they must marry. Each prince shoots an arrow to find their wives, leading the youngest son to a peculiar frog, which proves to be more than she appears. The story unfolds with the frog helping the prince succeed in tasks set by the king, showcasing her hidden beauty and magical capabilities. Through this tale, readers are immersed in a whimsical narrative filled with elements of enchantment, wit, and the lesson that appearances can be deceiving.
