Riassunto

The first of 12 volumes of fairy tales collected by renowned folklorist Andrew Lang, The Blue Fairy Book has introduced children for more than a century to such timeless stories as "Hansel and Gretel," "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp," "Beauty and the Beast," "The Master Cat or, Puss in Boots," and "Snow-White and Rose-Red." This collection features illustrations by Henry J. Ford, which graced the book's first edition in 1889.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Andrew Lang (1844 - 1912) was a Scottish writer and literary critic who is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang's academic interests extended beyond the literary and he was a noted contributor to the fields of anthropology, folklore, psychical research, history, and classic scholarship, as well as the inspiration for the University of St. Andrew s Andrew Lang Lectures. A prolific author, Lang published more than 100 works during his career, including twelve fairy books, in which he compiled folk and fairy tales from around the world. Lang's Lilac Fairy and Red Fairy books are credited with influencing J. R. R. Tolkien, who commented on the importance of fairy stories in the modern world in his 1939 Andrew Lang Lecture On Fairy-Stories.
