First Published in 1894, “The Yellow Fairy Book” is the sixth in a series of collections of fairy tales from around the world edited by Andrew Lang, the Scottish novelist, poet and literary critic, with translations and retellings by several authors, including his wife, Leonora Blanche Alleyne. Lang and Alleyne collaborated on popular and enduring collections of fairy tales and poetry for over twenty years. Lang and Alleyne achieved great commercial success with the publication of the “The Blue Fairy Book” in 1889, the first in the series. Each book was named after a color and included compilations of the most famous and recognizable fairy tales from all over the world. The collections published by Lang and Alleyne put these memorable and universally appealing tales into single volumes and made them accessible to generations of children and parents. “The Yellow Fairy Book” features many tales from the Danish author Hans Christian Anderson and includes such timeless and beloved classics as the “Story of the Emperor’s New Clothes”, “The Invisible Prince”, “The Magic Ring”, “The Witch and Her Servants”, “The Snow-daughter and the Fire-son”, and many more. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
