A sense of literary honesty compels the Editor to keep repeating that he is the Editor, and not the author of the Fairy Tales, just as a distinguished man of science is only the Editor, not the Author of Nature. Like nature, popular tales are too vast to be the creation of a single modern mind. The Editor's business is to hunt for collections of these stories told by peasant or savage grandmothers in many climes, from New Caledonia to Zululand; from the frozen snows of the Polar regions to Greece, or Spain, or Italy, or far Lochaber. When the tales are found they are adapted to the needs of British children by various hands, the Editor doing little beyond guarding the interests of propriety, and toning down to mild reproofs the tortures inflicted on wicked stepmothers, and other naughty characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovely Ilonka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLucky Luck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hairy Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Your Good Health!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Story of the Seven Simons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Language of Beasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Boy Who Could Keep A Secret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Prince And The Dragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Wildrose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiidu The Piper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperarelloo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gifts Of The Magician\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Strong Prince\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Treasure Seeker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cottager And His Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Prince Who Would Seek Immortality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Stone-Cutter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gold-Bearded Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTritill, Litill, And The Birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Three Robes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Six Hungry Beasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow The Beggar Boy Turned Into Count Piro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rogue And The Herdsman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEisenkopf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Death Of Abu Nowas And Of His Wife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotiratika\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNiels And The Giants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShepherd Paul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow The Wicked Tanuki Was Punished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crab And The Monkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Horse Gullfaxi And The Sword Gunnfoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Story Of The Sham Prince, Or The Ambitious Tailor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Colony Of Cats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow To Find Out A True Friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClever Maria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Magic Kettle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Lang,Various\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1534689028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781534689022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.01w x 0.40d","brand":"Andrew Lang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873308487935,"sku":"9781534689022","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crimson-fairy-book-andrew-lang-9781534689022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
