    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Part of a series of fairy tales printed by the booksellers. The first tale presented tells the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty with a few twists, including the continuation of the story after the Prince rescues the Sleeping Beauty. In this version, the Prince marries the Princess without informing his parents first, and he keeps their marriage as a secret for many years, even after the birth of a son and daughter. The Prince’s mother, descended from Ogres, finds out about the hidden family and resolves to eat all of them. The cook pities the poor family and tricks the Queen into eating a lamb, a kid, and a hind instead. When the Queen discovers the deception, she flies into a fury and is about to boil them all in oil when she is stopped by the timely arrival of the Prince, whereupon she throws herself into the oil instead. This tale is followed by the story of, “Charles and John, and the Little Dog Worthy,” which is a moral tale about two boys and the just punishment for little boys who tell falsehoods. In the end of the tale, the dog, Worthy, is renamed “Charles!” in honour of the boy who chose to tell the truth. Following this tale is a short anecdotal account of a solicitor in Edinburgh who, attempting to protect his property from thieves, published a fictitious handbill proclaiming an elaborate but fictitious series of deadly defenses protecting the property. When thieves grew bold again, the gentleman procured a limb of a corpse from the Royal Infirmary to be paraded around the streets of Edinburgh in search of its “owner.”]]></dcterms:abstract>
