Tales from Silver Lands by Charles Finger.

The 1925 Newbery Medal Winner for best children's literature published in the United States, this collection of Central and South American indigenous folk tales holds stories that will still be new to most North American ears. Full of cultural charm, these tales also hold the same degree of strangeness, flights of fancy, and fearful shadows that can be found in the tales of European-based folklore. This book is entertaining for adults as well as children.

Strange Story Book by Leonora Blanche Lang.

A collection of stories compiled by the widow of the renowned children's short-story collector, Andrew Lang. She describes this as the final installment of his series of fairy stories and includes some of those stories he had not included in other collections. In the preface, she pays tribute to her husband, saying he liked old things more than new, he loved all beasts' because they were beasts', fairies, cricket and dancing. He longed to visit far away places, but hated to travel. But most of all he befriended children wherever he went and they shared stories with him. Only his own children mocked him.

Welsh Fairy Tales and Other Stories by P. H. Emerson.

A collection of Welsh Fairy tales. These tales were collected by me whilst living in Anglesea during the winter 1891-2. With the exception of the French story, they were told me and I took them down at the time. In most cases I have done but little "editing", preferring to give the stories as told. P. H. Emerson, April 1894.
