Summary: "The Fairy Ring" by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora Archibald Smith is a collection of fairy tales, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This enchanting anthology presents a selection of lesser-known fairy tales from various traditions, aiming to spark the imagination of children and adults alike. The introduction emphasizes the timeless nature of fairy tales and the magic they instill, while also hinting at the presence of recurring themes, such as virtue triumphing over malevolence. The opening of "The Fairy Ring" begins with a whimsical poem that invites readers into a world of fairies, enchantment, and familiar characters, setting the tone for the stories to follow. The introduction further establishes the collection's purpose: preserving and sharing treasured tales that have been passed down through generations, each serving as a "golden apple" ripe for the picking. The first story, "East o' the Sun and West o' the Moon," unfolds the adventure of a young girl who embarks on a quest involving a mysterious white bear and a cursed prince, illustrating themes of bravery and love intertwined with magical elements. This early chapter showcases the enchanting storytelling style and rich imagery that permeates the entire collection, making it a delightful read for those who appreciate classic fairy tales.
