The Pink Fairy Book, by Andrew Lang, is a collection of 41 tales originating from Scandinavia, Sicily, France, Germany and Japan. The collection was published in 1897 as part of Lang’s Fairy Books in Many Colors – each book in the series contains tales from other countries and the volumes are distinguished by the color featured in the title. Andrew Lang was a Scottish poet and literary critic who became infatuated with folk tales at a very young age. When he started compiling his first collection containing some of the most well-known fairy tales of the world including Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Aladdin, he met serious resistance on the side of his critics who considered these tales too cruel and too scary for children. However, the first collection and the other numerous volumes that followed enjoyed tremendous success. The Color Book series started with the Blue Fairy Book published in 1889 and continued until 1913, one year after the death of Lang. The Pink Fairy Book mostly contains stories that can be enjoyed by children of any age - maybe with one exception, a Danish tale entitled The Princess and the Chest,which comes in the book with a warning by Lang himself, saying that it might disturb nervous children. Many of the tales feature characters that must face hardships, but the good always prevails and the hero always has magic forces by his or her side to help out when things turn really bad, making all the stories incredibly valuable for parents and educators who are looking for a great way to introduce their kids to cultures and ways of thinking other than their own.
