These fairy tales have delighted generations of readers around the world. \u003cem\u003eThe Langs' Fairy Books\u003c\/em\u003e are a series of 25 collections of true and fictional stories for children published between 1889 and 1913 by Andrew Lang and his wife, Leonora Blanche Alleyne. The best-known books of the series are the 12 collections of fairy tales also known as \u003cem\u003eAndrew Lang's \"Coloured\" Fairy Books\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eAndrew Lang's Fairy Books of Many Colors\u003c\/em\u003e. In all, the volumes feature 798 stories, besides the 153 poems in \u003cem\u003eThe Blue Poetry Book\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeonora Blanche Alleyne (1851-1933) was an English author, editor, and translator. Known to her family and friends as Nora, she assumed editorial control of the series in the 1890s, while her husband, Andrew Lang (1844-1912), a Scots poet, novelist, and literary critic, edited the series and wrote prefaces for its entire run. According to Anita Silvey, \"The irony of Lang's life and work is that although he wrote for a profession-literary criticism; fiction; poems; books and articles on anthropology, mythology, history, and travel ... he is best recognized for the works he did \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e write.\" The authorship and translation of the \u003cem\u003eColoured Fairy Books\u003c\/em\u003e are often and incorrectly attributed to Andrew Lang alone. Nora is not named on the front cover or spines of any of the Coloured Fairy Books, which all tout Andrew as their editor. However, as Andrew acknowledges in a preface to \u003cem\u003eThe Lilac Fairy Book\u003c\/em\u003e (1910), \"The fairy books have been almost wholly the work of Mrs. Lang, who has translated and adapted them from the French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, and other languages.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Lang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Three Little Sisters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798869192530\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Three Little Sisters","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43976012398707,"sku":"9.79887E+12","price":56.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_3c3bf7bb-24e7-44b1-99bd-ad638bef0872.jpg?v=1760446189","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/fairy-tales-book-one-9798869192530","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
