No way!!! There are no comments on Andrew Lang????? I grew up reading these books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fairy tales in these books are some of the best short fairytales a person can read!!! Andrew Lang was so good a seeing into the minds of children. Even more than a 100 years after the guy passed, kids read his books. JRR Tolkien, the author of the wonderful book The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, was even a huge fan of Andrew Langs book, The Red Fairy book!!!!
This guy is in my personal opinion, the best childrens storyteller EVER!! Well, him and Tolkien and Lewis Carroll ofcourse. READ THESE STORIES, YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO PUT THE BOOKS DOWN.
