The Green Fairy Book

Abstract

Collection of children tales by various, might anonymous, authors, edited by Andrew Lang. In his Preface to this volume, Lang expressed the view that it would be "probably the last" of the collection. Their continuing popularity, however, demanded subsequent collections. In The Green Fairy Book, the third in the series, Lang has assembled stories from Spanish and Chinese traditions.
