Description
Andrew Lang's Fairy Books are a series of twenty-five collections
of true and fictional stories for children, published between 1889
and 1913. The best known books of the series are the twelve
collections of fairy tales, known as Andrew Lang's "Coloured"
Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's Fairy Books of Many Colors. In all,
the volumes feature 798 stories, besides the 153 poems in The Blue
Poetry Book.
Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scots poet, novelist, and literary
critic. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself
made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a
large portion of the translating and retelling of the actual
stories. Four of the later volumes (from 1908 to 1912) were
published as by "Mrs. Lang".
