European Folk and Fairy Tales is a collection of traditional stories from various European countries, compiled and edited by Joseph Jacobs in 1916. The book includes over 100 tales, ranging from well-known classics like ""Cinderella"" and ""Little Red Riding Hood"" to lesser-known stories from countries such as Russia, Poland, and Norway. The tales are organized by country of origin and are accompanied by illustrations by John D. Batten. Each story is presented in its original form, with Jacobs providing informative introductions and notes on the cultural context and history of each tale.
