The Crimson Fairy Book By Andrew Lang
$16.95
The Crimson Fairy Book contains a fascinating collection of tales from many countries: Hungary, Russia, Rumania, Finland, Iceland, Japan, and Sicily are only some of them. Filled with imagination, excitement, and adventure, these tales will delight children with their illogical yet strangely reasonable events, and will offer parents a pleasant change from the well-worn favorites. One story "The Cottager and His Cat" tells of how cats were introduced into Iceland; another Japanese tale "The Crab and the Monkey" tells how a crab gets the best of a roguish monkey; and a remarkable tale "Little Wildrose" from Rumania tells how a beautiful child was reared in an eagle's nest.
