520			_a"Legends That Every Child Should Know; a Selection of the Great Legends of All Times for Young People," edited by Hamilton Wright Mabie, is a collection of legendary tales intended for a young audience that draws from various cultural traditions. The book likely originated in the late 19th century, during a period when interest in folklore and mythology surged in Western literature. The legends included span a wide geographic area and time period, offering stories that engage the imagination and impart moral lessons, featuring iconic characters such as Hiawatha, Beowulf, and Childe Horn. The opening of the collection begins with an introduction that delves into the historical context and significance of legends. It explores the etymology of the word "legend," highlighting its roots in storytelling traditions that were often oral before being committed to writing. The introduction emphasizes the importance of legends as narratives that reflect cultures, typically inspired by historical events or figures, and how these stories serve as valuable tools for teaching moral values and preserving history. The initial chapters preview the collection with tales such as that of Hiawatha, the wise leader who instructs his people on the art of fishing and farming, and Beowulf, a mighty hero facing a monstrous foe. Each story promises to be richly embedded with lessons and thrilling adventures suitable for young readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
