The Czech people trace their roots through medieval Bohemia and
further back to the ancient Western Slavs before the start of the
Viking Age. Their lively stories are parables and moral fables,
rich with satire and the weave of determination in the face of grim
reality. With a new introduction this new collection brings you
classic tales including 'The Three Roses', 'The Witch and the
Horseshoes', 'The Haunted Mill' and 'The Soldier and the Devil'.
Such stories cling to the fantasy that all will come well in the
end and that justice will be well served by truth, common threads
in the proud folklore of the Slavic peoples throughout the world.
FLAME TREE 451: From myth to mystery, the supernatural to horror,
fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet
of werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty vampires, dastardly
villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations and
escapist fantasies. Discover a storehouse of tales gathered
specifically for the reader of myths, folklore and the fantastic.
