About this ebook

"The Blue Fairy Book" is the first volume in Andrew Lang's famous "Coloured" Fairy Books series, and as such includes some of the best known stories. This fantastic collection of fairy tales comprises a range of tales, containing seven from Brothers Grimm, five from Madame d'Aulnoy, three from the Arabian Nights, and four Norwegian fairy tales. Notable stories include: "The Bronze Ring", "Prince Hyacinth and the Dear Little Princess", and "East of the Sun and West of the Moon". Andrew Lang (31 March 1844 - 20 July 1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews are named after him. Other notable works by this author include: "The Ballads and Lyrics of Old France" (1872), "The Folklore of France" (1878), and "Custom and Myth" (1884). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
