The Blue Fairy Book
by Andrew Lang
'The Blue Fairy Book' Summary
Featuring 37 tales, The Blue Fairy Book includes many well-known childhood classics such as “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Cinderella”, “Hansel and Gretel” and many more enchanting tales with a bit more zest than their successors. Not only is Lang’s collection a great awe for children, but it also offers a more action-packed and thrilling journey into enchanted territory where fairies are not necessarily kind, ogres are not who they seem to be, and most importantly not everyone gets a happy ending.
