The fairy tales in this series primarily consist of those written by French poet and fairy tale writer Charles Perrault (1623–1703) and French writer Mademoiselle d'Aulnoy (1651–1705); folk tales collected by Norwegian folklorists Asbj?rn Munch (1813–1885) and Peter Christen Asbj?rn M?ller (1813–1882); as well as the well-known Grimm fairy tales and stories from the renowned Arabic collection One Thousand and One Nights.

As a form of folk literature, fairy tales are the oldest literary works of humankind, containing deep moral lessons that have been passed down through generations and remain timeless. Fairy tales are not only loved by children but also provide adults with rich knowledge. Through the rustic and vivid language of fairy tales, especially Lang's prose-like English, readers can learn about the customs, cultures, and traditions of different countries, gaining the essential background knowledge necessary for mastering authentic English. This is the purpose behind publishing the English-Chinese "Andrew Lang's Fairy Tale Series" in the "Blue Series." We hope this book brings joy and assistance to our readers.
