This is the missing eleventh book from the "fairy stories of many colors" series. First published in 1907 it contains stories from all around the world with many from India. This book completes the series.

The remaining volume I mentioned in an earlier post, the rose book, is nothing more than a collection of stories drawn from other already posted books and therefore adds nothing new.

I wish to thank Patricia and Flogiston for pointing me toward sources for this volume. Thank you.

Stories included in this volume are as follows:

Madschun
The Blue Parrot
Geirlug The King’s Daughter
The Story of Little King Loc
A Long-Bow Story
Jackal or Tiger?
The Comb and the Collar
The Thanksgiving of the Wazir
Samba the Coward
Kupti and Imani
The Strange Adventures of Little Maia
Diamond Cut Diamond
The Green Knight
The Five Wise Words of the Guru
The Golden-Headed Fish
Dorani
The Satin Surgeon
The Billy Goat and the King
The Story of Zoulvisia
Grasp All, Lose All
The Fate of the Turtle
The Snake Prince
The Prince and the Princess in the Forest
The Clever Weaver
The Boy Who Found Fear At Last
He Wins Who Waits
The Steel Cane
The Punishment of the Fairy Gangana
The Silent Princess


Edit: Added a "-2" that has a TOC as per Patricia's notes. All comments are welcome.

Thanks for the collection. If you ever revisit these books could you please add a clickable TOC. It would be nice to have the titles in the book itself and clickable means you can easily find them to read them to children. I think you are using BD and it can be made to put a TOC together automatically.

OK Dale, you've got me there. Yes, I am using BD and the TOC does show itself in the Sony BBeB/LRF books. How to do it other than creating the hyperlinks is something that I do not know how to do. Any help would be very welcome.

Mark all chapter headings as titles.
Then go to the 'insert' menu and click 'insert TOC'.
Job done.

(For reasons of its own, BD wants to put the automatic TOC directly under the book title. I just let it, then copy, cut and paste subtitles etc back where they belong. And BD always misses out the 's' in 'Table of Contents'.)

I have added a "-2" version that has the TOC in it as per Patricia's instructions. All comments are welcome.

Thanks, it works well now.

The problem is that while the Sony LRF can have an internal ToC, I have no idea if IMP supports an external ToC. Mobipocket supports and internal ToC, but BD doesn't output to it. So the only way IMP and PRC files have for a ToC is the ToC inside the book.

I have started to include a specific TOC on all subsequent releases.
