Welcome to Litsy!

“I wish to offer due apology for the elaborate critical setting provided for three simple tales. It cannot be assumed that introduction, notes, and glossary will add to the entertainment afforded by these stories.”

Great start 😂

(‘Entertaining‘ maybe not, but I did find the introduction interesting; skipped the notes and glossary for the most part)

My vacay reading kinda follows a Middle English theme and this is the first book I finished. Has a very long scholarly introduction, which I found interesting, but only three short tales. By far my favourite was “The Fox and the Wolf in the Well”.
Neat and worth looking for some version of these tales if you‘re a fan of medieval history and/or Middle English lit.
