| Summary | "A Picture-Book of Merry Tales" by Anonymous is a collection of charming and humorous folklore, likely written in the late 19th century. The stories primarily revolve around a mischievous character named Tyll Owlglass, whose clever antics and tricks often lead to unexpected and funny outcomes. This collection includes various tales that mix adventure, whimsy, and moral lessons, appealing to both children and adults alike. The opening of the collection introduces us to Tyll Owlglass, beginning with a glimpse into his rather unconventional birth, marked by three baptisms, including one in a muddy ditch. As he grows, we see his mischievous nature emerge, where he plays tricks on his fellow villagers, irking both children and adults while escaping the blame with his clever wit. Notably, the beginning encapsulates the essence of Tyll, portraying him as a playful trickster whose misadventures set the stage for an entertaining series of tales that celebrate cunning and jest.
