The Red Fairy Book (Audio)
Overview
Andrew Lang (1844–1912) in collaboration with his wife Leonora Blanche Alleyne (1851-1933) published The Red Fairy Book in 1890 following The Blue Fairy Book of the previous year, the second volume of was to become a series of twenty five books of fantastical tales from around the world, ending with “The Strange Story Book” published in 1923.
As in the first collection, The Red Fairy contains many traditional favourites including “Rapunzel, “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “The Pied Piper” ( here known as “The Ratcatcher”). While many of these have some vestige of the narrative we may be accustomed to through many sanitised adaptations, there are many surprises!
