Yellow Fairy Book by Brian Alderson
The Yellow Fairy Book, the fourth in Andrew Lang 's Coloured Fairy Book series, was originally published in 1894. This edition contains all 48 of the original stories and all 105 of the original illustrations. *** The collections were specifically intended for children, and consequently edited for that end. *** When Andrew began publishing these books there were almost no English fairy tale books in circulation. The series proved of great influence in children 's literature, and inspired a host of imitators. The series also proved to be an inspiration to J.R. Tolken and his Middle-Earth collection of novels. *** The stories included in this book are: The Cat and the Mouse in Partnership; The Six Swans; The Dragon of The North; Story of The Emperor 's New Clothes; The Golden Crab; The Iron Stove; The Dragon and His Grandmother; The Donkey Cabbage; The Little Green Frog; The Seven-headed Serpent; The Grateful Beasts; The Giants and the Herd-boy; The Invisible Prince; The Crow; How Six Men Travelled Through the Wide World; The Wizard King; The Nixy; The Glass Mountain; Alphege, or the Green Monkey; Fairer-than-a-fairy; The Three Brothers; The Boy and the Wolves, or The Broken Promise; The Glass Axe; The Dead Wife; In the Land of Souls; The White Duck; The Witch and Her Servants; The Magic Ring; The Flower Queen 's Daughter; The Flying Ship; The Snow-daughter and The Fire-son; The Story of King Frost; The Death of The Sun-hero; The Witch; The Hazel-nut Child; The Story of Big Klaus and Little Klaus; Prince Ring; The Swineherd; How to tell a True Princess; The Blue Mountains; The Tinder-box; The Witch in the Stone Boat; Thumbelina; The Nightingale; Hermod and Hadvor; The Steadfast Tin-soldier; Blockhead-hans; and A Story about a Darning-needle. * * * * Check out the other Andrew Lang books published by Flying Chipmunk Publishing at www.
