The BLUE ROSE FAIRY BOOK, part compiled and part written by Maurice Baring, contains 12 children’s fairy tales.
These are:
The Glass Mender
The Blue Rose
The Story Of Vox Angelica And Lieblich Gedacht
The Vagabond
The Minstrel
The Hunchback, The Pool, And The Magic Ring
The Silver Mountain
The Ring
The Merchant’s Daughter
The Cunning Apprentice
Orestes And The Dragon, and,
The Wise Princess
The stories are further brought to life by the 12 full-page colour illustrations by an unknown artist.
But why The Blue Rose Fairy Book? In nature there is natural absence of blue roses. They have come to symbolise mystery and a longing to attain the impossible, with some cultures going so far as to say that the holder of a blue rose will have his wishes granted. And so, we have a book full of magical stories of Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses, dragons, gypsies and much, much more.
Don’t be surprised that when you have finished reading your young ones a story from this magical book that you feel a small tug at your sleeve with a request for “nutther please…?”
