Once upon a time ...
Fairytales are a universal part of childhood. No matter what time or what place you grew up, you have at one point or another heard that classic phrase โonce upon a time.โ They are usually the first stories we ever hear or read. These types of tales set us up to understand the art of stories and storytelling, and they are certainly worth revisiting.
Here in The Blue Fairy Book, the first of Andrew Langโs beloved collections of classic fairy stories, you will return to the tales you already know like โBeauty and the Beastโ and โRumpelstiltskin,โ tales you maybe remember a bit different like โThe Story of Pretty Goldilocksโ and โThe Sleeping Beauty in the Wood,โ and some you may never have heard of like โThe White Catโ and โPrince Darling.โ
Lang is an author of multivolume history books about Scotland and English literature, and he is considered one of the top folklorists in England. In The Blue Fairy Book, he has compiled thirty-seven tales from Arabian Nights, Charles Perrault, The Brothers Grimm, Madame Leprince de Beaumont, and more, in a first-rate English language collection.
