Description

"Mr. Frost has a clean and clear English style and touches of fancy which add a pretty charm to his transformation of the Wagner dramas into stories for children. He has done his work carefully and has shown a masterly inactivity by not attempting to adapt the morals of Wagner's mythological ways." -Book News "A successful attempt to make the romantic themes of the music drama intelligible to young readers. The author has full command of his subject, and the style is easy, graceful, and simple." -Boston Beacon "Ten stories told to an imaginary little girl, who sits in front of an open fire with the teller of the stories, and tries to see the gods and goddesses and other heroes and heroines he finds in the flame. The stories are concerned with the figures of Wagner's dramas now so familiar to everyone, and are made understandable to young people." -Publishers Weekly "In the contingent of fairy tales we have come across nothing, so far, much better than 'The Wagner Story Book,' by William Henry Frost. ...We heartily commend them." -The Educational Times "Both literature and music have combined to make these stories dear, and as here told their influence is wholly on the side of bravery, truth, and unselfishness." -The Literary World "Written for children; and those children who read it will certainly better understand and appreciate the master's music dramas when they come to hear and study them....Mr. Frost tells the stories in an attractive manner, and children will thank him in their hearts if not with their lips." -The Academy "Mr. Frost has cast the Wagner legend in a set of tales in the form of narratives to a child and has enriched it with original designs of his own and made it serve new purposes....In a way that is as luminous as it is graceful and tender he has enforced the lessons of truthfulness, beauty and goodness." -New York Tribune CONTENTS THE STOLEN TREASURE THE DAUGHTER OF THE GOD THE HERO WHO KNEW NO FEAR THE END OF THE RING THE KNIGHT OF THE SWAN THE PRIZE OF A SONG THE BLOOD-RED SAIL THE LOVE POTION THE MINSTREL KNIGHT THE KING OF THE GRAIL THE ASHES
