The Red Fairy Book was one of my first fairy tale books I read and I loved it. It's full of imaginative and diffrent fairy tales from all over the world. Such as "The True History of Little Goldenhood " and "The Twelve Dancing Princesses". This book contains thirty-seven tales that will keep you entranced and send you to new lands for days un-end of enjoyment. The numerous and beatiful pen and ink illustrations are done by Henry J. Ford and Lancelot Speed. The 'Red Fairy book' is only one of the numerous books Andrew Lang has put together. Such as the 'Yellow Fairy Book' and the 'Lilac Fairy Book'. Of what I discovered this book is the best one out of them.

The Red Fairy Book is the second book of Andrew Lang's Fairy Books. It appeared at Christmas 1890. The famed folklorist collects 37 tales of enchantment, ranging from the familiar to lesser-known stories. Sources include French, Russian, Danish, and Romanian tales as well as Norse mythology.
