Andrew Lang was an Oxford fellow and Scotsman who had a
distinguished career as a poet, novelist and historian. His wife
Leonora was extremely well-educated herself, having translated a
history of Russia from the French and written several other books
of her own. However, they are both remembered best for their series
of 12 fairy tale books--beginning with the "Blue Fairy Book" in
1889 and ending with the "Lilac Fairy Book" in 1910. These quickly
became the most popular gift books of all time and remained so for
several decades. It was Andrew Lang's interest in anthropology that
led him to collect and publish these folk tales from far-flung
lands, most of which were unknown to English readers at the time.
And though all of them were published in Andrew's name, his role
was largely editorial--a great deal of the translating, adapting
and rewriting was done by his wife Leonora and others.
This husband and wife team next applied their highly successful
formula for choosing, researching and adapting folk tales to the
stories of the saints, creating "The Book of Saints and Heroes" in
1912, with a result that is both inspiring and fun to read. Add the
illustrations by H.J. Ford, whose creations illuminated the Fairy
Books, and you have a book which makes an ideal gift for any child.
