The Olive Fairy Book - Andrew Lang

In our Fairy Cabinet (...) we have aimed at pleasing children, not 'grown-ups', at whom the old French writers directed their romances, but have hunted for fairy tales in all quarters, not in Europe alone. In this volume we open, thanks to Dr. Ignaz Kiinos, with a story from the Turks. 'Little King LOG' is an original invention by M. Anatole France, which he very kindly permitted Mrs. Lang to adapt from 'L'Abeille'.
