Ben Carlton Mead has contributed 32 original line drawings to illustrate the stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese tales spring from the soil and folklore of our land; but more than this, they make the readers contemporary with the times, filling us with the wonder of something past and yet still with us.
