This fantastic collection of fairy tales comprises a range of tales, containing seven from Brothers Grimm, five from Madame d'Aulnoy, three from the Arabian Nights, and four Norwegian fairy tales. Notable stories include: "The Bronze Ring", "Prince Hyacinth and the Dear Little Princess", and "East of the Sun and West of the Moon". Andrew Lang (31 March 1844 - 20 July 1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews are named after him. Other notable works by this author include: "The Ballads and Lyrics of Old France" (1872), "The Folklore of France" (1878), and "Custom and Myth" (1884). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

Book Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Langs fairy books are a series of 25 collections of real and fictional stories for children published between 1889 and 1913 by Andrew Lang and his wife, Leonora Blanche Alleyne. The best-known books in the series are the 12 collections of fairy tales, also known as Andrew Lang's "colored" fairy books or Andrew Lang's many-colored fairy books. In total, the volumes have 798 stories, in addition to the 153 poems in The Blue Poetry Book. Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist and literary critic. He initially edited the series and wrote prefaces for his entire career, while his wife, the translator and author Leonora Blanche Alleyne (July 1851-10, 1933), known by his friends and family as Nora, assumed editorial control of the series in the 1890s. She and other translators made a large part of the translation and the retelling of the real stories, as recognized in the prefaces. Four of the volumes from 1908 to 1912 were published by "Mrs. Lang".According to Anita Silvey, "The irony of Lang's life and work is that, although he wrote for a profession: literary criticism, fiction, poems, books and articles on anthropology, mythology, history and travel ... he is best recognized for works who did not write. " The 12 fairy colored books were edited by Henry Justice Ford, the first two volumes shared with GP Jacomb-Hood and Lancelot Speed respectively, and the sequels alone. A. Wallis Mills also contributed some illustrations.
