	"Fairy tales abound with bold, courageous, and clever heroes.

The tales that I have collected reflect a variety of cultures — Celtic, European, Scandinavian, Japanese, Chinese, Persian, and African. Some are comic, some are romantic, some tell of princesses and some of peasant girls. All, I believe, are works of literary merit, and their heroines are admirable humans beings." — from "Introduction", by [[Rosemary Minard]]		: "Fairy tales abound with bold, courageous, and clever heroes.
