Features: Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a renowned British writer, historian, poet, and folklorist, famous for his studies of myths and folktales. The "Collected Fairy Tales of the World," compiled and named in twelve different colors by him, has remained popular and beloved by people worldwide since its publication in 1889. This book is one of them. The "Golden Series" includes forty-eight fairy tales, accompanied by over one hundred exquisite illustrations, presented in both English and Chinese, divided into three volumes. The fairy tales collected in this series primarily feature stories from Germany, France, Iceland, Native Americans, and others, including well-known tales like those from the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, as well as unique and fascinating folktales from Hungary, Poland, Russia, and other countries. These fairy tales, with their simple yet engaging language, rich humor, and profound meanings, are captivating and offer great insights. As a form of folk literature, fairy tales are the oldest literary works of humanity, containing deep moral lessons that have been passed down through generations. Fairy tales are not only loved by children but also by adults, especially Lang's prose-like English, which helps readers understand the customs, cultures, and traditions of different countries, enriching the background knowledge essential for learning authentic English. This is the purpose behind publishing the "Lang's Collected Fairy Tales of the World" in English-Chinese parallel text. We hope this book will bring joy and assistance to our readers.
