THE LILAC FAIRY BOOK - 32 Illustrated Folk and Fairy Tales

This is the 12th Fairy Book of Many Colours compiled and edited by Andrew Lang. The stories in all the books are borrowed from many countries – Ireland, Asia, Portugal, Wales, India, Scotland, Kenya, France and further afield. However much nations differ in policy and culture, they all agree in liking fairy tales.Herein you will find 32 illustrated fairy tales like The Shifty Lad, The False Prince and the True, The Jogi's Punishment, The Fairy Nurse,  The King of the Waterfalls, A French Puck,  Little Lasse, 'Moti', The Enchanted Deer, The Battle of the Birds, The Lady of the Fountain and many, many more.The stories are further enhanced by 6 coloured plates, 20 full-page pen and ink drawings and 26 In-Text sketches by H. J. Ford.This book contains many references to fairies. As to whether there are really any fairies or not, is a difficult question.  Andrew Lang never saw any himself, but he knew several people who have seen them-in the Highlands - and heard their music.  So, if ever you are near Nether Lochaber, go to the Fairy Hill, and you may hear the music your-self, but you must go on a fine day……TABLE of CONTENTSThe Shifty LadThe False Prince and the TrueThe Jogi's PunishmentThe Heart of a MonkeyThe Fairy NurseA Lost ParadiseHow Brave Walter Hunted WolvesThe King of the WaterfallsA French PuckThe Three CrownsThe Story of a Very Bad BoyThe Brown Bear of NorwayLittle Lasse'Moti'The Enchanted DeerA Fish StoryThe Wonderful TuneThe Rich Brother and the Poor BrotherThe One-Handed GirlThe Bones of DjulungThe Sea King's GiftThe Raspberry WormThe Stones of PlouhinecThe Castle of KerglasThe Battle of the BirdsThe Lady of the FountainThe Four GiftsThe Groac'h of the Isle of LokThe Escape of the MouseThe Believing HusbandsThe Hoodie-CrowThe Brownie of the LakeThe Winning of Olwen
