Most of the hundreds of individual stories cited in this book as examples are not listed here, because either they are so well-known that they have been published in many editions, or they are more familiar in non-literary form, as films, operas or ballets. I have, however, included a number of stories which did not originate in English, to specify the translations used (although even here the translations have on occasion been very slightly modified, to clarify their meaning in sympathy with the original text).
