The Crimson Fairy Book

Editat de Andrew Lang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 noi 2012 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani
A GREAT READ FOR KIDS wanting to discover the world of magic and fairies on their own.Herein are not the most common folk and fairy tales. In this volume are 35 of the most unusual tales. Tales like "The Three Robes", "Lovely Ilonka", "The Colony of Cats", "Motiratika", "Niels and the Giants", "The Majic Kettle" and many more collected and translated by the late, great Andrew Lang.But why call them FAIRY TALES? One cannot imagine a child saying, 'Tell me a folk-tale', or 'Another nursery tale, please, grandma'. Fairy tales are stories in which something majical occurs. Something 'fairy', something extraordinary--fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals, or the remarkable stupidity of some of the characters. As to whether there are really any fairies or not, that is a difficult question. The Editor never saw any himself, but he knew several people who have seen them-in the Highlands-and heard their music. If ever you are in Nether Lochaber, go to the Fairy Hill, and you may hear the music yourself, as grown-up people have done, but you must go on a fine day. 33% of the net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to the TEMI CHARITABLE TRUST in the Republic of Georgia.* * * * * * *YESTERDAY's BOOKS Raising funds for TODAY's CHARITIES

Notă biografică

Andrew Lang (1844 - 1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews are named after him. Lang is now chiefly known for his publications on folklore, mythology and religion. The interest in folklore was from early life; he read John Ferguson McLennan before coming to Oxford, and then was influenced by E. B. Tylor. The earliest of his publications is Custom and Myth (1884). In Myth, Ritual and Religion (1887) he explained the "irrational" elements of mythology as survivals from more primitive forms. Lang's Making of Religion was heavily influenced by the 18th century idea of the "noble savage": in it, he maintained the existence of high spiritual ideas among so-called "savage" races, drawing parallels with the contemporary interest in occult phenomena in England. His Blue Fairy Book (1889) was a beautifully produced and illustrated edition of fairy tales that has become a classic. This was followed by many other collections of fairy tales, collectively known as Andrew Lang's Fairy Books. In the preface of the Lilac Fairy Book he credits his wife with translating and transcribing most of the stories in the collections. Lang examined the origins of totemism in Social Origins (1903).
