The Fairy Mythology, Vol. 1 Of 2 : Illustrative of the Romance and Superstition of Various Countries (Classic Reprint) by Thomas Keightley (2016, Trade Paperback)
Excerpt from The Fairy Mythology, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrative of the Romance and Superstition of Various Countries The truth I apprehend to be this: some tales and legends are transmitted; others are, to speak geologically, independent formations. When, in a tale of some length, a number of circumstances are the same, and follow in the same order, I would term it transmitted. Thus, in page of this volume, I say the European tales are derived from the Eastern ones. The reader's recollection will, I dare say, supply many similar in stances.
