Publisher Description: Originally published in 1900, The Grey Fairy Book ushered in a new collection of timeless stories from diverse authors with large followings across the globe. Andrew Lang presents an elite selection of moral and ethics-based tales. Author Andrew Lang's The Grey Fairy Book is a compilation of 30-plus stories from around the world. It's a colorful display of morality tales featuring dwarfs, magicians and monsters. The book consists of popular children's stories such as Donkey Skin, The Story of Bensurdatu, The Daughter of Buk Ettemsuch and Laughing Eye and Weeping Eye, or the Limping Fox. Lang delivers each tale with his signature prose and an easy-to-read format. The Grey Fairy Book stems from a long line of oral and written traditions. It contains stories that have survived years of social and political change. For more than a century, Lang's collections have sustained these histories to become staples within children's literature. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Grey Fairy Book is both modern and readable. |
