The Red Fairy Book

The Red Fairy Book is the second of Andrew Lang’s twelve Fairy Books, which were published between 1889 and 1910. A collection of fairy and folk tales from around the world, The Red Fairy Book includes “The Twelve Dancing Princesses,” “Rapunzel,” and a version of “Snow White” called “Snowdrop.”

Assembling and translating for the first time many now-famous tales, Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books have served as inspiration for many writers including J. R. R. Tolkien, and contributed to the growth in popularity of fairy tales as a literary genre.
