Author names not noted above: Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen.
Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name "Harvard
Classics," this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the
greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and
mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT
(1834-1926), Harvard University's longest-serving president. Also
known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it represented Eliot's
belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading
from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of
bookshelf. Volume XVII features three collections of the greatest
fairy tales of Western literature: Fables, 82 of the most popular
allegories and cautionary tales by Greek writer AESOP (620-560 BC),
including "The Wolf and the Lamb," "The Fox and the Grapes," "The
Goose with the Golden Eggs," and others Household Tales, 42 stories
by German folklorists and linguists JACOB (1785-1863) and WILHELM
GRIMM (1786-1859), including "The Frog-King," "Rapunzel,"
"Cinderella," and others Tales, 20 of the most beloved tales by
Danish folklorist HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN (1805-1875), including
"The Ugly Duckling," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Little
Sea-Maid," and others
