    About The Fairy Books of Andrew Lang

    "The Fairy Books of Andrew Lang" by Andrew Lang is a series of 25 collections published between 1889 and 1913. These volumes gather 798 fairy tales from sources spanning multiple languages and cultures, giving many stories their first English appearance. The twelve famous "Coloured" Fairy Books—each distinguished by its own color—revolutionized children's literature and public perception of fairy tales. Though credited to Andrew Lang, the series was largely the work of his wife, Leonora Blanche Lang, who translated and adapted stories from French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, and other languages.
