Sobre aquest llibre

One of Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books of Many Colors, this anthology includes eight Punjabi tales, five from Armenia, and sixteen other stories from Turkey, Denmark, Sudan, Iceland, and more, including “The Story of Little King Loc” from the pen of Nobel Prize–winning French poet, journalist, and novelist Anatole France.
 
Turn the pages of The Olive Fairy Book to find heroic princes, evil trolls, wise fairies, talking animals, and witches. This enchanting collection features stories such as “Jackal or Tiger?,” “Samba the Coward,” “Kupti and Imani,” “The Green Knight,” “The Fate of the Turtle,” “The Snake Prince,” “The Punishment of the Fairy Gangana,” “The Silent Princess,” and others.
 
“The old favorite series on which most of us were brought up—and our parents before us . . . Andrew Lang and his associates managed to break the stranglehold of the pious sentimentality handed out to children by collecting—from all over the world—fairy tales of all people, and bringing out the volumes we all know and love.” —Kirkus Reviews

Sobre l'autor

Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scottish scholar and writer, best known for his folklore and mythological tales. After college, he moved to London and began working as a journalist. He began collecting fairytales and folklore stories for his first collection, The Blue Fairy Book. The Fairy Books contained hundreds of pages of folklore stories, which Lang edited while his wife helped translate. Receiving acclaim, the books totaled in 427 stories combined in twelve collections. Lang also produced his own original writing, including novels, literary criticism, and poetry, but his work did not attain the same literary recognition.
