Beschreibung

Dive into the enchanting world of Andrew Langs Coloured Fairy Books, a captivating twelve-volume series that showcases an array of fairy tales. While Lang himself didnt gather these stories from the oral tradition, his ability to tap into a wide range of sources—often translating tales from foreign languages—has made this collection profoundly influential. Many of these enchanting stories received their first English renditions thanks to Lang and his team, including his wife and various talented translators. Interestingly, Lang, who was a prolific writer in literary criticism, fiction, and anthropology, is best remembered for the tales he didnt pen himself. The series is beautifully illustrated by notable artists such as Henry J. Ford, Lancelot Speed, and G. P. Jacomb-Hood, adding a visual magic to the already spellbinding narratives.
