Andrew Lang 
Violet Fairy Book [EPUB ebook] 

pub One.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. The Editor takes this opportunity to repeat what he has often said before, that he is not the author of the stories in the Fairy Books; that he did not invent them ’out of his own head. ’ He is accustomed to being asked, by ladies, ’Have you written anything else except the Fairy Books? ’ He is then obliged to explain that he has NOT written the Fairy Books, but, save these, has written almost everything else, except hymns, sermons, and dramatic works.
