Summary

"Tales of Folk and Fairies" by Katharine Pyle is a compilation of enchanted stories originating from worldwide folk tales. The collection includes a Scottish story about Ashipattle, a young underdog who takes an improbable journey to beat the Meester Stoorworm, a powerful, dangerous serpent. Ashipattle, though mocked by his older brothers, uses his positive attitude and gift for storytelling to connect with his sister before setting off on his adventure. As a huge monster threatens the kingdom, Ashipattle steps up even while others, lured by the reward of the King's daughter, Princess Gemlovely, hesitate in order to become an unexpected hero. The collection weaves together adventure, magic, and moral teachings.
