Synopsis

Published in 1889, The Blue Fairy Book is the first book in the series of story collections known as Andrew Lang's Coloured Fairy Books, which bring to life the classic fairytales by Grimm, Madame d'Aulnoy and Perrault among other folklore sources. Most captivating is the fact that the collection features the stories in pristine an unaltered conditions, therefore they contain a darker side than the polished versions most are familiar with from childhood memories.
