Description

The Olive Fairy Book includes strange stories from Turkey, India, Denmark, Armenia, the Sudan, and the pen of Anatole France. But all the stories are told in the common language of the fairy tale, and their heroes — the Green Knight who is saved by a soup made from nine snakes, the lovely Dorani who flies each night to fairyland, the king who understands the language of the animals — will be welcome to children and grown-ups alike.
All in all, this collection comprises 29 stories, all narrated in clear full of life prose. Not only are Lang’s collections in most cases regarded as to contain the most efficient English versions of the usual stories; they’re the richest and widest in range.
“Admirable series of photographic reprints of the first editions. Altogether very good value.” — New York Review of Books.
