It is both amazing and wonderful that so much of the richness of our language and our moral education still owes a huge debt to a Greek slave who was executed over 2,000 years ago.

Lidové pověsti vypráví o neslýchaných událostech, o podivuhodných úkazech, o ohromujících zvratech, šťastných náhodách, ranách osudu. Co za tím asi vězí? Slepá náhoda, zásah vyšší moci? Boží milost nebo lest Satanova? Otázky a zas otázky, na které lidová pověst může odpovědi nanejvýš naznačit. Ale možná spočívá její zvláštní kouzlo právě v tom, že mnohé ponechá zahaleno tajemstvím. Třikrát třináct nejkrásnějších a nejzajímavější lidových pověstí o pokladech a jejich strážcích, o kouzelnících a čarodějnicích, o strašidlech a duších, které se tradují na pomezí Saska, Čech, Slezska a Lužice.

And I even managed to answer graciously, “Sure, I’d be glad to.” Then other gnomes who wanted to live in my neck of the woods showed up. Fairies, too! They all became part of my world. And their world became part of mine.
