Description
London: Vizetelly & Co, 1889. First Edition. 8vo (188 x132mm), pp. viii, 390. The first of Lang's fairy books, the best of them and the scarcest. Blue cloth decorated and titled inn gilt, coated black (dark brown?) endpapers. A fine copy, with a small stain to the recto of the read endpaper and points of rubbing at a couple extremities of the incredibly delicate glossy cloth. Half morocco box. illustrations by H.J. Ford and G.P. Jacomb Hood. A significant contribution to children's literature through its comprehensive compilation of traditional fairy tales from diverse cultural origins. The collection features thirty-seven stories, including both well-known European tales and narratives from more distant sources. An impressive breadth of folkloric tradition, with some of today’s most famous fairy tales such as "Little Red Riding-Hood," "Jack the Giant-Killer," "Snow White," "Cinderella," "Aladdin," "Sleeping Beauty," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Puss in Boots," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Beauty and the Beast." The collection also features less frequently anthologized works such as "East of the Sun and West of the Moon," "The Black Bull of Norroway," and "The Forty Thieves." Lang's editorial approach, while modernizing elements of these tales for Victorian readers, maintained their essential narrative structures and motifs, establishing a new standard for fairy tale collections that would influence generations of subsequent children's literature. Lang's Blue Fairy Book became an influential literary landmark that democratized access to these formative cultural narratives for young readers across the English-speaking world.
