# The Blue Fairy Book

By Andrew Lang.

"The Blue Fairy Book" by Andrew Lang is a collection of fairy tales published in 1889. This groundbreaking volume launched a revolutionary series that transformed children's literature. Drawing from diverse sources—the Brothers Grimm, Arabian Nights, Norwegian folklore, and French tales—it assembled beloved stories that had never before appeared in English. At a time when fairy tales were dismissed as harmful for young readers, Lang championed their value, sparking a generation-long shift in public perception. The collection features some of the most iconic tales ever told, translated and adapted by Lang and his wife Leonora. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
