The Blue Fairy Book, Edited by Andrew Lang, Fiction, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology (Hardcover)

"The irony of Lang's life and work is that although he wrote for a profession-literary criticism; fiction; poems; books and articles on anthropology, mythology, history, and travel ... he is best recognized for the works he did "not" write." -- Anita Silvey, "Children's Books and Their Creators"

Oh, that we all could become prosperous and famous for things we did not have to write And still, the collecting of these tales is quite a deed.
