Andrew Lang's famous colored Fairy Books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the undeservedly neglected books of the series are two collections of true stories. Here there are no fairies, no witches, no giants, but there is a beautiful maiden who, though not a princess, is honest, strong, brave, and beloved by all good people. Joining her in this collection are soldiers, sailors, pirates, adventurers and explorers. There are brave men fighting for king and country, explorers crossing vast deserts and uncharted seas, and ordinary men and women who did the right thing, even when it was dangerous. Among the stories in this volume are the mutiny on the Bounty; the gallant attempt by Bonnie Prince Charlie to reclaim his family's rightful throne; the conquest of Peru; sagas of the Vikings; tales from Froissart, the chivalrous chronicler of the Hundred Years' War; the life of Joan of Arc; and the adventures of Napoleon's general Marbot with his faithful mare Lisette.

Andrew Lang's famous colored Fairy Books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the unjustly neglected books of the larger series is this collection of poetry for the young. Children, and some adults, often think that they don't like poetry. Usually this is because they have been reading the wrong kinds, either free verse that has no rhyme or rhythm and isn't fun to read, or else high-flown raptures about nature that use a lot of long words to say nothing at all. Neither of those kinds of bad poetry are in this book. Here, instead, are stories. Stories about knights and ladies, fairies and ghosts, soldiers and sailors, Greeks and Romans; or else about the seasons and holidays, or cats and dogs, or ordinary people: men and women, boys and girls. Anything, in fact, that a normal story can be about, a poem can be about too. No matter what kind of stories you like, you're sure to find them in The Blue Poetry Book.

Andrew Lang's famous colored fairy books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the undeservedly neglected books of the larger series is this book about real princes and princesses. These boys and girls don't have fairy godmothers or singing animal friends, but they still have all sorts of exciting adventures. Here you can read about famous people when they were still children, about people like Marie Antoinette, or Elizabeth the First, or the great conqueror Napoleon Bonaparte. There are also other princes and princesses you probably don't know, and their thrilling adventures and escapes, like Duke Richard of Normandy, who fled his castle hidden in a bale of hay, or Princess Henrietta Maria of England, who had to be dressed as a boy to slip past the Roundheads who wanted to kidnap her.
