Reseña del editor:

This charming early work, first published in 1892, is the third book in a series of twelve ‘coloured’ fairy books published by Andrew Lang between 1889 and 1910.  Each volume is distinguished by its own colour, and all in all, 437 tales from a wide array of cultures and countries are presented. The Green Fairy Book is illustrated with numerous black and white illustrations by the master artist H.J. Ford. This book is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the shelf of all folklorists and lovers of fairy tales. A delightful read for both adult and child.

The stories contained herein include: “The Blue Bird”, “The Half-Chick”, “The Enchanted Watch”, “Rosanella”, “Sylvain and Jocosa”, “Fairy Gifts”, “Prince Featherhead and the Princess Celandine”, “The Three Little Pigs”, “Heart of Ice”, “The Enchanted Ring”, “The Snuff-Box”, and many more.

Andrew Lang (1844 – 1912) was a Scots poet, novelist and literary critic, with a passion for folkloric storytelling. Most of his volumes (including this, ‘The Green Fairy Book’) were beautifully illustrated by Henry J. Ford (1860 – 1941), an inordinately talented artist who came to public attention with his illustrations for Lang. The books captured the imagination of British children and later became worldwide bestsellers in the 1880s and 1890s.
