The Yellow Fairy Book , the fourth in Andrew Lang’s Coloured Fairy Book series, was originally published in 1894. This edition contains all 48 of the original stories and all 105 of the original illustrations. *** The collections were specifically intended for children, and consequently edited for that end. *** When Andrew began publishing these books there were almost no English fairy tale books in circulation. The series proved of great influence in children’s literature, and inspired a host of imitators. The series also proved to be an inspiration to J.R. Tolken and his Middle-Earth collection of novels. *** The stories included in this book are: The Cat and the Mouse in Partnership; The Six Swans; The Dragon of The North; Story of The Emperor’s New Clothes; The Golden Crab; The Iron Stove; The Dragon and His Grandmother; The Donkey Cabbage; The Little Green Frog; The Seven-headed Serpent; The Grateful Beasts; The Giants and the Herd-boy; The Invisible Prince; The Crow; How Six Men Travelled Through the Wide World; The Wizard King; The Nixy; The Glass Mountain; Alphege, or the Green Monkey; Fairer-than-a-fairy; The Three Brothers; The Boy and the Wolves, or The Broken Promise; The Glass Axe; The Dead Wife; In the Land of Souls; The White Duck; The Witch and Her Servants; The Magic Ring; The Flower Queen’s Daughter; The Flying Ship; The Snow-daughter and The Fire-son; The Story of King Frost; The Death of The Sun-hero; The Witch; The Hazel-nut Child; The Story of Big Klaus and Little Klaus; Prince Ring; The Swineherd; How to tell a True Princess; The Blue Mountains; The Tinder-box; The Witch in the Stone Boat; Thumbelina; The Nightingale; Hermod and Hadvor; The Steadfast Tin-soldier; Blockhead-hans; and A Story about a Darning-needle. * * * * Check out the other Andrew Lang books published by Flying Chipmunk Publishing at www.
