In Sweden there appeared translations of Perrault and D'Aulnoy. _The
Blue-Bird_ was oftenest printed as a chap-book. Folk-tales were
collected in:--

_Swedish Tales_, a collection. H. Von Schroter.

1844. _Folk-Tales_. George Stevens and Hylten Cavallius.

Sweden has given us the modern fairy tale, _The Wonderful Adventures
of Nils_ (2 volumes). This delightful tale by Selma Lagerloef, born
1858, and a winner of the Nobel prize, has established itself as a
child's classic. It has been translated by V.S. Howard, published by
Doubleday, 1907.

In Norway we have:--

1851. _Norske Folkeeventyr_, collected by Asbjoernsen and Moe.

1862. _Norse Tales_. The above tales translated by Sir
George W. Dasent.

In Denmark we have:--

_Sagas of Bodvar Biarke_.

_Danske Folkeeventyr_, by M. Winther, Copenhagen, 1823.

1843-60. _Danmarks Folkesagn_, 3 vols., by J.M. Thiele.

1805-1875. _Fairy Tales_, by Hans Christian Andersen. These
tales are important as marking the beginning of the modern
fairy tale. They are important also as literary fairy tales
and have not been equaled in modern times.

In Slavonia we have:--

_Wochentliche Nachrichten_, by Busching, published by Schottky.

In Hungary we have:--

1822. _Marchen der Magyaren_, by George von Gaal.

In Greece and Russia no popular tales were collected before the time
of the Grimms.

In Italy the two great collections of the world of fairy tales have
been mentioned. Italy has also given the modern fairy tale which has
been accepted as a classic: _Pinocchio_, by C. Collodi (Carlo
Lorenzini). This has been illustrated by Copeland, published by Ginn;
and illustrated by Folkhard, published by Dutton.

In America the publication of fairy tales was at first a reprinting of
English editions. In colonial times, previous to the revolution,
booksellers imported largely from England. After the revolution a new
home-growth in literature gradually developed. At first this was
largely in imitation of literature in England. After the time of
Washington Irving a distinct American adult literature established
itself. The little child's toy-book followed in the wake of the
grown-up's fiction. The following list[7] shows the growth of the
American fairy tale, previous to 1870. Recent editions are given in
Chapter VI.

History o
