The Yellow Fairy Book
Andrew Lang
Book Overview:
Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books or Andrew Lang’s "Coloured" Fairy Books are a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources (who had collected them originally), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories.

This is the one in which the tales really start to branch out. There are a couple of literary tales that I didn't much like, but a lot more places. Greek. Polish. Bukowinaer. Iclelandic. A few from North America. I particularly liked The Golden Crab, The Flower-Queen's Daughter (in which drag
تا حالا رنگ‌های بنفش و آبی و زرد این مجموعه رو خوندم و داستان‌های این مجموعه رو کمتر از دوتای دیگه دوست داشتم
این کتاب تعداد زیادی داستان های کوتاه داره و داستان های کتاب برگرفته از داستان های خیلی قدیمی و افسانه هاست و به نظرم کتاب خیلی خوبی برای نوجوانان محسوب میشه.
I feel like I saw pretty much the same thing in all my reviews for these books but it was enjoyable. Some were boring and other were good.
Haven't quite enjoyed it as much as the previous tomes, I've considered some stories to be a bit vulgar to be read to kids.
If fairy stories can't get a five-star rating then what is our standard? Five stars to Andrew Lang and his magnificent collection of colored fairy stories. This Yellow one is one of my favorites. Real fairy stories with real consequences.
