Folk-Lore from Foreign Lands (Aldine Supplementary Readers series, school reader)

This schoolroom reader gathered folktales from across the globe into one classroom-ready volume, from a Malay moon princess to a wise Turkish judge to Japanese garden magic. Part of the Aldine Supplementary Readers series, it taught early 20th-century students to read while sparking curiosity about faraway cultures. Its worn cloth cover and colorful genie frontispiece show decades of eager young hands. A perforated "Hazleton Public Library" stamp inside traces its earlier life as a circulating library copy.
