The Red Fairy BookBy VariousEdited by Andrew LangAndrew Lang's Fairy Books are a series of twenty-five collections of true and fictional stories for children, published between 1889 and 1913. The best known books of the series are the twelve collections of fairy tales, known as Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's Fairy Books of Many Colors. In all, the volumes feature 798 stories, besides the 153 poems in The Blue Poetry Book.Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scots poet, novelist, and literary critic. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and retelling of the actual stories.According to Anita Silvey, "The irony of Lang's life and work is that although he wrote for a profession--literary criticism; fiction; poems; books and articles on anthropology, mythology, history, and travel.he is best recognized for the works he did not write."CONTENTSPREFACETHE TWELVE DANCING PRINCESSESTHE PRINCESS MAYBLOSSOMSORIA MORIA CASTLETHE DEATH OF KOSHCHEI THE DEATHLESSTHE BLACK THIEF AND KNIGHT OF THE GLEN.THE MASTER THIEFBROTHER AND SISTERPRINCESS ROSETTETHE NORKATHE WONDERFUL BIRCHJACK AND THE BEANSTALKTHE LITTLE GOOD MOUSEGRACIOSA AND PERCINETTHE THREE PRINCESSES OF WHITELANDTHE VOICE OF DEATHTHE SIX SILLIESKARI WOODENGOWNDRAKESTAILTHE RATCATCHERTHE TRUE HISTORY OF LITTLE GOLDEN HOODTHE GOLDEN BRANCHTHE THREE DWARFSDAPPLEGRIMTHE ENCHANTED CANARYTHE TWELVE BROTHERSRAPUNZELTHE NETTLE SPINNERFARMER WEATHERBEARDMOTHER HOLLEMINNIKINBUSHY BRIDESNOWDROPTHE GOLDEN GOOSETHE SEVEN FOALSTHE MARVELLOUS MUSICIANTHE STORY OF SIGURD, Books

In a second gleaning of the fields of Fairy Land we cannot expect to find a second Perrault. But there are good stories enough left, and it is hoped that some in the Red Fairy Book may have the attraction of being less familiar than many of the old friends. ONCE upon a time there lived in the village of Montignies-sur-Roc a little cow-boy, without either father or mother. His real name was Michael, but he was always called the Star Gazer, because when he drove his cows over the commons to seek for pasture, he went along with his head in the air, gaping at nothing. As he had a white skin, blue eyes, and hair that curled all over his head, the village girls used to cry after him, 'Well, Star Gazer, what are you doing?' and Michael would answer, 'Oh, nothing,' and go on his way without even turning to look at them. The fact was he thought them very ugly, with their sun-burnt necks, their great red hands, their coarse petticoats and their wooden shoes. He had heard that somewhere in the world there were girls whose necks were white and whose hands were small, who were always dressed in the finest silks and laces, and were called princesses, and while his companions round the fire saw nothing in the flames but common everyday fancies, he dreamed that he had the happiness to marry a princess.
