The storytelling tradition of nursery tales lives on in various peoples of Europe. Here, they have been gathered from Latvia, Russia, Transylvania, Norway, Germany, France, England, and Scotland. Nursery tales serve as an introduction to the wonderland of fairy tales for 3- to 4-year-old children. In their rhythmic repetitions and the wealth of vivid imagery, they reflect the soul of a child slowly connecting with the earth. As a result, they become an invaluable treasure for a lifetime.
