Emily Steele Elliott (1836-1897) was the daughter of Edward Bishop Elliott, rector of St. Mark's, Brighton, and niece of the hymnist Charlotte Elliott. For some time editor of The Church Missionary Juvenile Instructor, she was the author of several collections of popular homilies for children. Like her aunt she was a talented hymnist, writing over one hundred well-known hymns including 'There came a little Child to Earth' and 'Thou didst leave thy Throne'. In the realm of hymnology, however, she is best remembered as one of the first English translators of Mohr's carol 'Silent Night'. Her translation was made in 1858 for the choir of St. Mark's, almost a decade after the first US version of 1849. However her version and its American counterpart were both eclipsed by John Freeman's Young's 'definitive' translation of the following year which remains the version most widely known today. The present collection was reissued at least twice, in 1878 and again in the 1880s. The first edition, as here, is very scarce, especially in this condition.

Very Good Very Good English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. [Lvii], 236 p. Two Tamil folktales: The story of King Matanakâma - The story of peacock Râvana. Translated from the Tamil by Kamil V. Zvelebil. "Taamil literary folklore has so far received little attention, in spite of a few early publications which appeared mostly in the 19th century. Mosst of Tamil literary texts translated into Western languages, or analyzed in Indological literature, belonged too the Tamil 'Great Tradition' of high literary culture. And yet, there exists an enormous wealth of oral and semi-oral traditions of verbal art in Tamil, as in any other Indian language; some of these pieces of literary folklore have appeared in print as chapbooks and are very popular with Tamil readers, but ignored by 'respactable' literary scholarship. The two folk-narratives translated in this book belong to the favourite pieces of Tamil folklore. Apart from being expressions of sheer narrative joy and creative fantasy of the Tamil people,they are a rich source of comparative data on various motifs, customs, stylistic devices etc., and therefore they will not only amuse and delight the general reader, but be of great use to all students of Indian literatures, and of comparative folklore.".
