The Orange Fairy Book (Paperback)

Comprised of thirty-three short works of fiction, The Orange Fairy Book explores the folklore and traditions of many origins, including European, Scottish, Scandanavian, and African descent.

In Two Caskets a young maiden must endure abuse and ridicule from her stepmother and sister after the death of her father. When an Indian king meets a holy man in Story of the King Who Would See Paradise, the king becomes very transfixed with the idea of seeing Paradise, and makes a deal with the holy man, offering protection and favor in exchange for being granted a peak into Paradise. Portraying a series of unfortunate curses, Girl Fish is an obscure tale following a young girl as she encounters many magical changes that transform her into different animals.
