Book excerpt: The Grey Fairy Book - Andrew Lang. BRAND NEW EDITION Andrew Lang's Fairy Books-also known as Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's Fairy Books of Many Colors-are a series of twelve collections of fairy tales, published between 1889 and 1910. Each volume is distinguished by its own color. In all, 437 tales from a broad range of cultures and countries are presented. Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scots poet, novelist, and literary critic. Although he did not collect the stories himself from oral primary sources only Madame d'Aulnoy and Lang had collected tales from such a large variety of sources, which made the collections immensely influential. Lang gave many of the tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and retelling of the actual stories. According to Anita Silvey, "The irony of Lang's life and work is that although he wrote for a profession-literary criticism; fiction; poems; books and articles on anthropology, mythology, history, and travel...he is best recognized for the works he did not write." The books were primarily illustrated by Henry J. Ford. Lancelot Speed and G. P. Jacomb-Hood also contributed some illustrations.

A certain number of incidents are shaken into many varying combinations, like the fragments of coloured glass in the kaleidoscope. This book contains many references to fairies. As to whether there are really any fairies or not, is a difficult question. Andrew Lang never saw any himself, but he knew several people who have seen them-in the Highlands - and heard their music. So, if ever you are near Nether Lochaber, go to the Fairy Hill, and you may hear the music your-self, but you must go on a fine day…… TAGS: Folklore, Fairy Tales, myths, legends, children’s stories, bedtime stories, folk tales, Donkey Skin, Goblin Pony, Impossible Enchantment, Story of, Dschemil and Dschemila, Janni and the Draken, Partnership, Thief and the Liar, Fortunatus, Purse, Goat-faced Girl, What came of picking Flowers, Bensurdatu, Magician's Horse, Little Gray Man, Herr Lazarus, Draken, Queen of the Flowery Isles, Udea, Seven Brothers, White Wolf, Mohammed, Magic Finger, Bobino, Dog, Sparrow, Three Sons of Hali, Fair Circassians, Jackal and the Spring,Bear, Sunchild, Daughter of Buk Ettemsuch, Laughing Eye and Weeping Eye, Limping Fox, Unlooked, Prince, Simpleton, Street Musicians, Twin Brothers, Cannetella, The Ogre, Fairy's Blunder, Long, Broad, Quickeye, Prunella

'The Three Sons of Hali' is from the last century 'Cabinet des Fees, ' a very large collection. The French author may have had some Oriental original before him in parts; at all events he copied the Eastern method of putting tale within tale, like the Eastern balls of carved ivory. The stories, as usual, illustrate the method of popular fiction. A certain number of incidents are shaken into many varying combinations, like the fragments of coloured glass in the kaleidoscope. Probably the possible combinations, like possible musical combinations, are not unlimited in number, but children may be less sensitive in the matter of fairies than Mr. John Stuart Mill was as regards music
