♥ the red fairy book Andrew lang This book forms part of Andrew Lang's "Colored" Fairy Books series - a series of twelve collections of fairy tales, published between 1889 and 1910. Each volume has its own color and, in total, 437 stories from a wide range of cultures and countries are presented. Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, and literary critic with a passion for telling folkloric stories. Most of his volumes (including "The Red Fairy Book") are beautifully illustrated by Henry J. Ford (1860-1941), an overly talented artist who caught the public's attention with his illustrations by Lang. The books captured the imagination of British children and later became a bestseller worldwide in the 1880s and 1890s. This Red Book contains classic fairy tales such as The Twelve Dancing Princesses The Princess Mayblossom Soria Moria Castle The Death Of Koshchei The Deathless The Black Thief and Knight Of the Glen The Master Thief. Brother and Sister ... and many more.
