The Blue Fairy Book

The first instalment of Andrew Lang's popular fairy tale series, The Blue Fairy Book is a vibrant collection of children's stories that have been published across the globe. Lang pulls from genre favourites such as "Little Red Riding Hood," "Cinderella or the Little Glass Slipper," and "The Brave Little Tailor."

Originally published in 1889, The Blue Fairy Book is the first in a series of popular collections by Andrew Lang that feature international fairy tales. It's a compilation of more than 30 stories across different times and locations. The Blue Fairy Book consists of famous tales from authors such as Madame d'Aulnoy and the Brothers Grimm, retold in vivid detail in an easy-to-read format. Some of the most memorable stories include "Beauty and the Beast," "Rumpelstiltskin," "The Story of Pretty Goldilocks," and "The History of Jack the Giant-killer."

The first edition ran less than 10,000 copies before becoming a major international success. Fans of classic fairy tales will adore Andrew Lang's signature collection. The Blue Fairy Book marked the beginning of a new era in the author's impressive career. It's the inaugural edition of a long-running series that spanned well over a decade. With an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Blue Fairy Book is both modern and readable.
