Summary: "Wonder Tales from Many Lands" by Katharine Pyle is a collection of fairy tales written in the early 20th century. This enchanting book presents a variety of folk tales from diverse cultures, including stories featuring magical creatures, brave heroes, and enchanting landscapes. The tales celebrate themes of courage, kindness, and the triumph of good over evil, capturing the imagination of readers both young and old. The opening of the book begins with the story "Long, Broad, and Sharpsight." It introduces a King who desires his only son, a Prince, to choose a bride. The Prince discovers a hidden room within the castle, unveiling portraits of beautiful princesses, yet none capture his heart until he sees the twelfth maiden behind a curtain. Upon learning that she is imprisoned by a wicked Magician, the Prince sets out to rescue her, accompanied by unique companions—Long, who can stretch to incredible lengths, Broad, who can expand his breadth, and Sharpsight, who possesses extraordinary vision. Together, they embark on a thrilling quest filled with magic, danger, and the promise of true love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
