Parker Fillmore, author of The Laughing Prince, was a collector and editor of fairy tales from Czechoslovak tales and Slavic folklore. The Laughing Prince is classified as Slavic fairy tales, but the collection is also compromised of fairy tales and folklore for Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Montenegro, Russia, the Ukraine, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Poland and others. His other work, Czechoslovak Fairy Tales, is another collection of fairy tales. Fillmore enjoyed the fairy tales he heard, and received a scholarship from patrons to spend time collecting these iconic tales that were part of the heritage of many he encountered in Czechoslovak and elsewhere. He referred to the tales as “charming little tales of sentiment” and called a few “full of stark simplicity and grim humor.” He also calls the tales his “own renderings” and not exactly translations, an important distinction to make. He does say, however, that he didn't invent new details, but instead made the stories his own.

Czechoslovak Fairy Tales is a book of Eastern European fairy tales. The stories have been translated, polished and edited for a audience of American children (circa 1919, so not quite as dumbed-down as they would be today). I found the stories to be entertaining and lighthearted.These stories are good for an age group from children to adults.
There is an awkward but active table of contents. There are no illustrations.

Czechoslovak Fairy Tales Illustrated eBook Parker Fillmore Reviews
Funny tales! Nice stories for anyone to read. Children will love them, and adults will enjoy all of the tales.
This is a very pleasant read. Some of the tales are dark, but many of them teach lessons and have pleasant or sweet resolutions.
Great stories for those interested in the culture or herritage, but I feel like the flow is more of a direct translation than free flowing stories. This makes the stories a little awkward to read, but still good morals.
I believe that the Czech fairytales I never read before is good and I love it
Not every tale is great, but there are a lot of terrific ones. Fillmore is a good storyteller, and because I liked this book so much, I am wiling to buy anything with his name on it.
It's a decent set of stories. It's not badly written, either. It 'ends' with a never-ending story, too. So, Enjoy.
I love fairy tales and have many books from around the world. I also love researching the stories from other countries. This is a great find for any fairy tale fan.
