The Red Fairy Book, the second in Andrew Lang 's Coloured Fairy
Book series, was originally published in 1890. This edition
contains all thirty-seven of the original stories and all
ninety-nine of the original illustrations. *** The collections were
specifically intended for children, and consequently edited for
that end. *** When Andrew began publishing these books there were
almost no English fairy tale books in circulation. The series
proved of great influence in children 's literature, and inspired a
host of imitators. The series also proved to be an inspiration to
J.R. Tolken and his Middle-Earth collection of novels. *** The
stories included in this book are: The Twelve Dancing Princesses;
The Princess Mayblossom; Soria Moria Castle; The Death of Koschei
the Deathless; The Black Thief and Knight of the Glen; The Master
Thief; Brother and Sister; Princess Rosette; The Enchanted Pig; The
Norka; The Wonderful Birch; Jack and the Beanstalk; The Little Good
Mouse; Graciosa and Percinet; The Three Princesses of Whiteland;
The Voice of Death; The Six Sillies; Kari Woodengown; Drakestail;
The Ratcatcher; The True History of Little Goldenhood; The Golden
Branch; The Three Dwarfs; Dapplegrim; The Enchanted Canary; The
Twelve Brothers; Rapunzel; The Nettle Spinner; Farmer Weatherbeard;
Mother Holle; Minnikin; Bushy Bride; Snowdrop; The Golden Goose;
The Seven Foals; The Marvellous Musician; and The Story of Sigurd.
