Fairy-stories are always delightful but they gain an additional interest when they bear the stamp of the people among whom they circulated. This is certainly the case in Miss Grierson's books. Some, of course, are of the type common to most lands, but the majority are essentially Scottish. Miss Grierson has drawn them from all sources, folk-lore, minstrelsy, and legends. Elizabeth Wilson Grierson was the famous Scottish author which was best known by Children's Tales From Scottish Ballads (1906), Scotland (1907), Vivian's Lesson (1907), The Children's Book of Celtic Stories (1908), Scottish Fairy Book (1910), Canterbury (1910), St. Paul's (1910), Hereford (1911), Florence (1912) and Tales From Scottish Ballads (1916). A unique brief story about Fox and The Wolf who lived together in a cave near the sea-shore. They might have lived together always had it not been for the slyness and greediness of the Fox, who tried to over-reach his companion, who was not nearly so clever as he was. And one day two friends went to the sea-shore if they could find something to eat and they found. But wise, greedy and sly fox didn't want to share food with a wolf. What did the fox and how does the sin always find the culprit you will know at the end of the story.
