About the Author

Andrew Lang was a prolific collector of folk and fairytales as well as being a poet, novelist and critic. Born in Scotland, he was educated at the Universities of St Andrews and Oxford. Best known for his 'Fairy Books', which each included a colour in their titles, he also collaborated on translations of Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey and produced popular biographies of historical figures, such as Sir Walter Scott, plus other collections of stories for children. Alongside his writing, Lang took a strong interest in anthropology, psychic research and spiritualism, but his versatility as a writer earned him his reputation as one of the 19th and early 20th centuries' best-loved storytellers.
