A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

An unrivaled collection of traditional fairy tales, The Crimson Fairy Book was assembled by Scottish folklorist Andrew Lang although authorship of the stories is unknown. Lang published several collections of traditional tales, collectively known as Andrew Lang's Fairy Books. From myths of magicians recorded on papyrus in Ancient Egypt to the stories preserved by Perrault in 17th-century France, the allure of the fairy tale is universal. First published in 1903, The Crimson Fairy Book was the eighth in Lang’s Rainbow Fairy Book series. Alongside these fantastical tales, The Crimson Fairy Book contains animal stories to rival Kipling: in ‘The Colony of Cats’, a little girl is adopted by a feline household; ‘The Six Hungry Beasts’ explains why foxes have white tips on their tails.
