The Blue Fairy Book - Andrew Lang

The Tales in this volume are intended for children, who will like, it is hoped, the old stories that have pleased so many generations. The tales of Perrault are printed from the old English version of the eighteenth century. The stories from the 'Cabinet des Fees' and from Madame d'Auhioy are translated, or rather adapted, by Miss Minnie Wright, who has also, by M. Henri Carnoy's kind permission, rendered "The Bronze Ring" from his 'Traditions Populaires de l'Asie Mineure' (Maisonneuve, Paris, 1889).
