      About This Book

      "Andrew Lang and his associates managed to break the stranglehold of the pious sentimentality handed out to children by collecting—from all over the world—fairy tales of all people, and bringing out the volumes we all know and love."—Kirkus Reviews

      The fourth installment of Andrew Lang's widely read classics, The Yellow Fairy Book has been admired time and time again, enchanting readers with its carefully crafted prose and eclectic assortment of fairy tales. Originally published in 1894, this collection of celebrated tales has stood the test of time. Some of the famous stories included are:
      • Thumbelina
      • The Steadfast Tin-Soldier
      • Cat and Mouse in Partnership
      • Story of the Emperor's New Clothes
      • The Dragon and His Grandmother
      • The Seven-Headed Serpant
      • The Wizard King
      • And many more!

      This beautiful edition comes complete with the original illustrations by Golden Age Illustrator Henry J. Ford, and is the perfect gift to pass on these timeless classics to the next generation of readers and dreamers.

      The imaginations of children throughout time have been formed and nurtured by stories passed down from generation to generation. Of the countless genres of stories, fairy tales often conjure the most vivid fantastical worlds and ideas, which cultivate creativity and bring elements of magic back into the real world. The Fairy Books, compiled by famous Scottish novelist and poet Andrew Lang, are widely consider among some of the best collections ever compiled.
