Features: Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a renowned British writer, historian, poet, and folklorist, famous for his research on myths and folktales. The "Collected Fairy Tales of the World," compiled by him and named in twelve different colors, has remained popular since its publication in 1889, beloved by children worldwide. This book is one of them. The Red Fairy Book includes thirty-seven fairy tales, accompanied by nearly one hundred exquisite illustrations. The tales collected primarily feature stories from France, Germany, Russia, and Romania. Some may not be universally known, but they are gripping and highly engaging, such as "The Three Little Men in the Forest," "Mother Holle," and "The Penguin." These fantastical, intriguing, and thought-provoking fairy tales are captivating and leave readers enriched. As a form of folktales, fairy tales are the oldest literary works of humanity. The magical and beautiful fairy tales bring children a kaleidoscope of imagination, especially the exquisite stories compiled by Andrew Lang, which make children's worlds even more vibrant. We hope that this carefully translated series of fairy tale books will become good companions for children, as well as helpful aids for parents and teachers.
