This volume of eight forgotten stories is the result of research work and commendable rescue work.
All are starring heroines who reverse the stereotype of women in traditional tales: daring sisters who save their parents from starvation; princesses who prefer to give up the luxuries of the palace out of fidelity to their principles and feelings; intrepid young people who are not satisfied with everyday life and go out into the world to seek challenges that make them grow as individuals.
