Synopsis
Why buy the Rossignol edition?
It is neither OCR'd nor photocopied.
It includes all the original illustrations.
It is properly formatted.
Andrew Lang's famous colored Fairy Books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the unjustly neglected books of the larger series is this collection of poetry for the young.
Children, and some adults, often think that they don't like poetry. Usually this is because they have been reading the wrong kinds, either free verse that has no rhyme or rhythm and isn't fun to read, or else high-flown raptures about nature that use a lot of long words to say nothing at all. Neither of those kinds of bad poetry are in this book.
Here, instead, are stories. Stories about knights and ladies, fairies and ghosts, soldiers and sailors, Greeks and Romans; or else about the seasons and holidays, or cats and dogs, or ordinary people: men and women, boys and girls. Anything, in fact, that a normal story can be about, a poem can be about too. No matter what kind of stories you like, you're sure to find them in The Blue Poetry Book.
Rossignol Books is proud to present lesser-known children's books.

Biographie de l'auteur
Lang was born in Selkirk. He was the eldest of the eight children born to John Lang, the town clerk of Selkirk, and his wife Jane Plenderleath Sellar, who was the daughter of Patrick Sellar, factor to the first duke of Sutherland. On 17 April 1875, he married Leonora Blanche Alleyne, youngest daughter of C. T. Alleyne of Clifton and Barbados. She was (or should have been) variously credited as author, collaborator, or translator of Lang's Color/Rainbow Fairy Books which he edited.
He was educated at Selkirk Grammar School, Loretto, and at the Edinburgh Academy, St Andrews University and at Balliol College, Oxford, where he took a first class in the final classical schools in 1868, becoming a fellow and subsequently honorary fellow of Merton College. He soon made a reputation as one of the most able and versatile writers of the day as a journalist, poet, critic, and historian. In 1906, he was elected FBA.
He died of angina pectoris at the Tor-na-Coille Hotel in Banchory, Banchory, survived by his wife. He was buried in the cathedral precincts at St Andrews.
