A classic fairy tale collection from the Scottish folklorist that includes "The Brown Bear of Norway," a variation on the Beauty and the Beast story.

First published in 1910, The Lilac Fairy Book is the last of Andrew Lang's Fairy Books of Many Colors, a series known as the best English translations of standard stories and for its rich and wide-ranging scope. Here are thirty-three enchanting tales for children, passed down through generations in Africa, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, India, Portugal, France, and Scandinavia. Along with "The Winning Olwen" -- an Arthurian legend from the Welsh Mabinogion -- The Lilac Fairy Book includes "The False Prince and the True," "The Three Crowns," "The Heart of a Monkey," "The Enchanted Deer," "The Story of a Very Bad Boy," "The Lady of the Fountain," and more.

"The old favorite series on which most of us were brought up -- and our parents before us... Andrew Lang and his associates managed to break the stranglehold of the pious sentimentality handed out to children by collecting -- from all over the world -- fairy tales of all people, and bringing out the volumes we all know and love." -- Kirkus Reviews
