The imaginations of children throughout time have been formed and nurtured by stories passed down from generation to generation. Of the countless genres of stories, fairy tales often conjure the most vivid fantastical worlds and ideas, which cultivate creativity and bring elements of magic back into the real world. The Fairy Books, compiled by famous Scottish novelist and poet Andrew Lang, are widely consider among some of the best collections ever compiled. 

This beautiful edition comes complete with the original illustrations by Golden Age Illustrator H. J. Ford, and is the perfect gift to pass on these timeless classics to the next generation of readers and dreamers. 

'I now believe the best word to describe me as an author is spoiled. That's because the folks at Sky Pony have truly made me feel special about being in their stable. My editor is top-notch, and has a unique way of making me feel like her most important author.' — Nancy Krulik, New York Times bestselling author

'Andrew Lang and his associates managed to break the stranglehold of the pious sentimentality handed out to children by collecting — from all over the world — fairy tales of all people, and bringing out the volumes we all know and love.' — Kirkus Reviews
