The Orange Fairy Book

(4.6 stars; 90 reviews)

Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books constitute a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources, who had collected them originally (with the notable exception of Madame d'Aulnoy), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these 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 telling of the actual stories.

Many of the books were illustrated by Henry J. Ford. Lancelot Speed, and G. P. Jacomb Hood also contributed some illustrations. (Summary by Wikipedia) (9 hr 40 min)

orange fairy book


(3.5 stars)

enjoyable and interesting stories most readers were great but here again is the guy who obviously doesn't bother to read the story before recorded it and so stumbles his way through the readings making it hard to make sense of the storyline.

LOL
