He felt obliged to explain that he has NOT written the Fairy Books, but, save these, has written almost everything else, except hymn

This was meant to be the third and last of Andrew Lang's Fairy Books of many colours. Fortunately for us it wasn't. First there was the Blue Fairy Book; then when Victorian children asked for more, the Red Fairy Book; and, when they wanted more still, the Green Fairy Book was put together. The stories in all the books are borrowed from many countries; France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Scotland, England and even one rare Chinese tale. However much these nations differ over policy and ideology, all their children agree to liking fairy tales. As we grow up, we dismiss or forget the fairy tales of our youth and the lessons they taught. But grandparents have long memories and the responsibility falls on them to tell them to their grandchildren: and when they, in their turn, become grandparents, they remember them, and tell them also. In this way these tales are older than reading and writing, far older than printing. The oldest fairy tales ever written down were written down in Egypt, in about Jos

This volume contains forty-three English folk stories and tales. Many of the tales in this volume, as in similar collections from other European countries, are what the folklorists call Drolls. They serve to justify the title of Merrie England, a title which used to be given to England, indicating the unsuspected capacity for fun and humour among the English. The story of Tom Tit Tot, which opens the collection, is unequalled among all other folk-tales, for its combined sense of humour and dramatic power.
- 43 unique folk tales, stories and legends from Merry England
- Compiled and edited by Joseph Jacobs
- Exquisitely illustrated by John D. Batten

This volume is a treasure chest of classic Eastern tales drawing on the rich folklore of Turkey. Forty-four Turkish Fairy Tales has not been in print for almost 100 years, mainly because the original edition had lavish production standards. On the used market, mint copies of the 1913 original can cost up to four figures. Appropriately titled Fairy Tales because something definitely fairy occurs. There are talking animals, flying horses, birds that magically change into beautiful maidens, quests to win the hand of a princess, magical objects, simple, yet brave, peasants, wizards, witches, dragons and dungeons, epic journeys, and loveable fools.
- 44 Turkish folk and fairy tales
- With over 200 exquisite illustrations by Willy Pogany
- Stories in which something "fairy" occurs
- 33% of the net profit from each sale is donated to the Christchurch Earthquake Fund
- Absolute money for value!
