After supper, accordingly, she put the serpent's request to the forester.
'Our serpent wants to get married, Cola,' she said; 'so you must find him a wife.'
'Very well,' said Matteo. 'I will hunt through the forest when I am out, and try and find another serpent for him to mate with.'
'Oh, that will not do at all,' said the serpent, who had been listening very intently to its adopted parents' conversation, though[Pg 34] it seemed to be sleeping peacefully all over the floor in front of the fire.

Rather bland, but not a bad read.
Subtitled "Fairy Tales of the Allied Nations" (of World War I) A collection of such tales, none of them of the pop top 20, some of them literary, rather flatly retold.
It’s time for fairy tales people. I have always loved them.
‘Edmund Dulac’s Fairy-Book-Fairy Tales of the Allied Nations’ has fairy tales from across the globe. I can’t tell you how much I loved this book. Every story is beautiful and simple. I had neither read nor heard of any of the stories before.
I'll be buying a first edition copy soon. An unforgettable masterpiece of art, literature, and mythology.

Illustrations lovely.
