The Blue Fairy Book

The Blue Fairy Book , the first of twelve in Andrew Lang s Coloured Fairy Book series, was originally published in 1889. This edition contains all 37 of the original stories and all 127 of the original black-and-white illustrations. *** The collections were specifically intended for children, and consequently edited for that end. *** When Andrew began publishing these books there were almost no English fairy tale books in circulation. The series proved of great influence in children s literature, and inspired a host of imitators. The series also proved to be an inspiration to J.R. Tolken and his Middle-Earth collection of novels. *** This book includes the stories: The Bronze Ring; Prince Hyacinth and the Dear Little Princess; East of the Sun and West of the Moon; The Yellow Dwarf; Little Red Riding Hood; The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood; Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper; Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp; The Tale of a Youth who set out to learn what Fear was; Rumpelstiltzkin; Beauty and The Beast; The Master-Maid; Why the Sea is Salt; The Master Cat; or, Puss in Boots; Felicia and the Pot of Pinks; The White Cat; The Water-Lily.
