The Orange Fairly Book (Paperback)
Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books or Andrew Lang’s “Coloured” Fairy Books constitute a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Al- though Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources, who had collected them originally (with the notable exception of Madame d’Aulnoy), made them an immensely in uential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their rst appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, al- though Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories.
