Download or read book The Green Fairy Book written by Andew Lang and published by . This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Lang's urge to collect and publish fairy tales was rooted in his own experience with the folk and fairy tales of his home territory along the English-Scottish border. When Lang began his efforts, he "was fighting against the critics and educationists of the day," who judged the traditional tales' "unreality, brutality, and escapism to be harmful for young readers, while holding that such stories were beneath the serious consideration of those of mature age." Over a generation, Lang's books worked a revolution in this public perception.The Green Fairy book was written in 1892. This book contains a rich range of classic fairy tales, including 'The Blue Beard', 'The Three Little Pigs' and 'The Story of the Three Bears'. No matter how far it has traveled, whether courtly entertainment or rustic yarn, each fairytale contains its lessons as well as its adventures: in Charles Deulin's 'The Little Soldier', a soldier learns that an honest fishergirl is preferable to a greedy princess and in Madame D'Aulnoy's 'The Blue Bird', a King and Queen learn the importance of trusting each other.
