The Violet Fairy Book, the seventh in Andrew Lang 's Coloured Fairy
Book series, was originally published in 1901. This edition
contains all 35 of the original stories and all 59 of the original
black-and-white 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: A Tale of the Tontlawald; The
Finest Liar in the World; The Story of Three Wonderful Beggars;
Schippeitaro; The Three Princes and their Beasts; The Goat 's Ears
of the Emperor Trojan; The Nine Pea-hens and the Golden Apples; The
Lute Player; The Grateful Prince; The Child who came from an Egg;
Stan Bolovan; The Two Frogs; The Story of a Gazelle; How a Fish
swam in the Air and a Hare in the Water; Two in a Sack; The Envious
