The Violet Fairy Book

Andrew Lang, the UK"s answer to the Grimm brothers, is ALWAYS GREAT READ FOR KIDS - especially those wanting to explore the realms of Magic and Fairydom for themselves. The 35 stories in this book have been drawn from Serbia, East Africa, Japan, Lithuania, Russia, Romania, Scandinavia, Italy, Germany and Portugal which introduces young readers to a variety of themes from different cultures. Herein are the stories of "Dwarf Long Nose," "The Wonderful Beggars," "The Lute Player," "Two in a Sack," "The Fish that swam in the Air", "Tontawald", "Jasper who herded the Hares" and many,many more. Given the opportunity, Andrew Lang often stated, that he is not the author of the stories in the Fairy Books; that he did not invent them "out of his own head." He did this because he was accustomed to being asked, by ladies, "Have you written anything else except the Fairy Books?" He felt obliged to explain that he has NOT written the Fairy Books, but, save these, has written almost everything else, except hymns, sermons, and dramatic works. 33% of the publisher"s profit from the sale of this book will be donated to the TEMI CHARITABLE TRUST in the village of Gremi in the Republic of Georgia.
