The Blue Fairy Book
by Andrew Lang
It is almost impossible to imagine what childhood would be like without the magical world of a fairy tale country. Cinderella, Little Little Little Riding Hood, giants and dwarves, monsters and wizards, fairies and cannibals - these are comrades who fascinate young boys and girls from all lands and from all times, as evidenced by Andrew Lang's extraordinarily successful collection of stories. Lang's fairy tale books in many colors have entertained thousands of boys and girls since the day it was first published, as well as delighted many parents who read this unforgettable classic to their children. The "Blue Tale Book" is the first volume of the series and therefore contains some of the most famous tales taken from various sources: not only from Grimm, but also from the fascinating adventures of Charles Perrault and Madame d'Olna, "Arabian Nights" and other stories from folk traditions. Here in an attractive paper volume with an expanded print there are Sleeping Beauty, Rumpelstiltskin, Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, Puss in Boots, Gullible John, Jack Gigantkiller, Goldilox and many other favorites that have become an integral part of our cultural heritage.
