Opis

The Pink Fairy Book, the fifth in Andrew Lang s Coloured Fairy Book series, was originally published in 1897. This edition contains all 41 of the original stories and all 69 of the original black-and-white illustrations. *** The collections were specifically intended for children, and consequently edited for that end. *** When Andrew began publishing these books there were almost no English fairy tale books in circulation. The series proved of great influence in children s literature, and inspired a host of imitators. The series also proved to be an inspiration to J.R. Tolken and his Middle-Earth collection of novels. *** This book contains these stories: The Cat s Elopement; How the Dragon Was Tricked; The Goblin and the Grocer; The House in the Wood; Uraschimataro and the Turtle; The Slaying of the Tanuki; The Flying Trunk; The Snow-man; The Shirt-collar; The Princess in the Chest; The Three Brothers; The Snow-queen; The Fir-tree; Hans, the Mermaid s Son; Peter Bull; The Bird Grip; Snowflake; I Know What I Have Learned; The Cunning Shoemaker; The King Who Would Have a Beautiful Wife; Catherine and Her Destiny; How the Hermit Helped to Win the King s Daughter; The Water of Life; The Wounded Lion; The Man Without a Heart; The Two Brothers; Master and Pupil; The Golden Lion; The Sprig of Rosemary; The White Dove; The Troll s Daughter; Esben and the Witch; Princess Minon-minette; Maiden Bright-eye; The Merry Wives; King Lindorm; The Jackal; the Dove; and the Panther; The Little Hare; The Sparrow with the Slit Tongue; The Story of Ciccu; and Don Giovanni De La Fortuna. * * * * Check out the other Andrew Lang books published by Flying Chipmunk Publishing at www.FlyingChipmunkPublishing.com, or Friend us on Facebook for our latest releases.
