In essence fly-fishing has changed very little over the years. Angling Sketches, with its rich and intimate evocation of the lochs and rivers of Andrew Lang's youth, scattered throughout Lowland Scotland, speaks to us today in a voice as fresh and as entertaining as when it first appeared in 1891.

This is the first critical edition of the works of Andrew Lang, the Scottish writer whose enormous output spanned the whole the range of late-nineteenth century intellectual culture: from literary criticism to anthropology, magic to archaeology, folklore to Scottish history.

Beauty and the Beast - All Four Versions includes the original, adult-oriented edition of the story by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve (translated from the French by James Robinson Planche), the simplified and shortened version by Jeanne-Marie Leprince De Beaumont which appeared sixteen years later - the basis for all future versions, the Brothers Grimm adaptation and a somewhat forgotten version by Victorian folklorist and anthropologist Andrew Lang.
