Andrew Lang / Dorothy Lake (ill.) - The Green Fairy Book [First Edition] - 1949

DESCRIPTION: There are books of tales… and there are books that shape the childhoods of entire generations.

The book I’m presenting you at auction is "THE GREEN FAIRY BOOK" (The Green Book of Fairy Tales), one of the most emblematic volumes of the legendary Fairy Books collection by British author Andrew Lang (1844-1912), one of the most influential anthologies of tales in history.

One of the great attractions of this volume is that it gathers a fascinating selection of traditional European and Eastern stories (French tales, German tales by the Brothers Grimm, Nordic tradition, Italian, Chinese and Russian), selected and edited by Lang, and all of it masterfully illustrated with BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS by Dorothy Lake Gregory.

Our copy contains dozens of IMMORTAL TALES such as: The Blue Bird; The Three Little Pigs; The Three Bears; Jorinde and Joringel; The White Snake; The Half-Chick; Prince Vivien; Caliph Stork; among many others.
