Serbian Fairy Tales (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Serbian Fairy Tales Once upon a time a bear married a woman, and they had one son. When the boy was yet a little fellow he begged very hard to be allowed to leave the bear's cave, and to go out into the world to see what was in it.

Excerpt from Serbian Folk Songs, Fairy Tales and Proverbs During the last eighteen months Serbia has come nearer to us. Fighting against terrible odds, our brave little ally held up the walk-over of her powerful northern neighbour, and thrice she threw back the vast armies of Austria. Little Serbia not only impaired the prestige of her foe, but also kept fully occupied those legions of Austria which other wise would have been employed elsewhere. The fine peasant army of Serbia was the rampart which for long weary months defied the Central Powers in their policy of joining up with the Turk. Finally, however, gallant little Serbia went down under the avalanches from North and East. About the P...

SPIRIT OF THE SERB (CLASSIC RE
Excerpt from The Spirit of the Serb By brave hearts and I cannot find a better motto for my remarks about Serbia and the spirit of the Serbs. For so far as this war is concerned, the proverb is thoroughly typical of the bravery and stubborn self-reliance with which they have held their own for the past seven months. When war first broke out, those of us who were interested in Serbia and the Balkans felt it almost necessary to apologize for the importance of the south-eastern front and Serbia's share in the war. At first we were, naturally enough, engrossed with the western theatre of war, where our own gallant tr00ps are fighting; and many of us were apt to forget that besides Belgium, which...
