The Violet Fairy Book: classic literature

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Feb. 20, 2017)
The Fairy Books, or "Coloured" Fairy Books is a collection of fairy tales divided into twelve books, each associated with a different colour. Collected together by Andrew Land they are sourced from a number of different countries and were translated by Lang's wife and other translators who also retold many of the tales. The collection has been incalculably important and, although he did not source the stories himself direct from the oral tradition he can make claim to the first English translation of many. First published in 1901, The Violet Fairy Bookis the 7th volume in this series.
