There was once a farmer who had three sons and one little daughter. The eldest son was a studious boy who learned so much out of books that the farmer said "We must send Mihailo to school and make a priest of him." The second boy was a trader. Whatever you had he would get it from you by offering you something else for it. And always what he gave you was worth less than what you gave him.

Overall, The Laughing Prince is a solid book of mid-level fairy tales. They tended to run long, with lots of side-quests (you saved the princess once? now save her twice more!), but I rarely felt like the stories were dragging.Generally the stories were non-objectionable for all audiences, although one tale (Lord and Master) had a moral of 'beat your wife if she won't listen', and a few of the later tales were a bit heavy-handedly religious. So a parent might want to read through the tales before sharing them with their children.

The Laughing Prince
Beauty and the Horns
The Pigeon's Bride

The Laughing Prince Jugoslav Folk and Fairy Tales Parker Fillmore 9781532706080 Books Reviews
Remembered a childhood fairy tale called "Peerless Beauty". Looked for it in various books
over the years, finally googled it and found it in this book. Found the other stories very
entertaining also.
Some new, some that were co-opted by Lang, but here is meat to Lang's bones. The writing isn't bad either! All in all, not a bad read. Enjoy.
I really like the collection in this book. I am a fan of Parker Fillmore from his Czechoslovakian Fairy Tales, so I purchased this volume. After the first story, I thought I would be disappointed, but it turns out that the first tale is the weakest. It's not bad, but it is not as strong as the others.
