Abstract

This text is a collection of two folk tales. The first tale, "The Taming of Shrews," tells the story of a princess named Stella who is difficult to please. Her father, the king, decides to hold a banquet and invite princes and kings from neighboring countries in the hopes of finding a suitable husband for Stella. Stella finds fault with all the suitors except for one, whom she believes to be dirty because he has a crumb in his beard. Unbeknownst to Stella, the man she finds dirty is actually the prince of Green Hill, who disguises himself to seek revenge on her for calling him dirty. He marries Stella and takes her to a humble home, where she learns the value of hard work and humility. In the end, they reconcile and live happily. The second tale, "The Finicky Princess," also revolves around a princess who is difficult to please. Her father, the king, tries to teach her a lesson by subjecting her to various humiliations. Eventually, she learns the value of humility and marries the prince who had disguised himself to teach her a lesson. Both tales emphasize the importance of humility and the consequences of pride.

Abstract

This text is a brief excerpt from "The Fireside Stories of Ireland" published in 1870. It tells the story of a proud and moody princess who rejects all suitors. Her father, the king, sends pictures of her to foreign countries and receives pictures of handsome princes in return, but none please her. Eventually, she agrees to marry a young king based on his picture, but when she notices a feather on his chair and sauce on his chest, she rejects him. The king banishes her, and she lives in a small city, sewing clothes to make a living. The young king disguises himself as a peddler and finds her, seeking revenge. He convinces her to marry him and they live in a miserable cottage. He humiliates her further by making her live in a stall and work as a seamstress in the castle. Eventually, she gives birth to a baby boy, and the king reveals his true identity and they live happily ever after. The excerpt provides a glimpse into Irish folklore and storytelling traditions.

Abstract

This chapter from the book "Golden Age of Folk & Fairy Tales" contains two separate stories. The first story, "The Taming of Shrews," revolves around a woman who initially rejects a suitor but later faces a humbling experience at his hands. The second story, "Hacon Grizzlebeard," focuses on a proud princess who plays a trick on a prince, only to have him seek revenge by disguising himself as a beggar. Both stories explore themes of pride, humility, and love. The second story specifically follows the journey of a princess who reluctantly marries a beggar and becomes dissatisfied with her new life. The beggar then disguises himself as a prince and sends the princess to the palace to steal food. Despite being caught multiple times, the princess is forgiven due to the beggar's influence. Eventually, the beggar reveals his true identity, and the princess finds happiness. The story concludes without providing further details about their lives. This tale emphasizes themes of deception, forgiveness, and the significance of one's true identity. [Extracted from the article]
