Another multicultural collection,

This review is from: The Brown Fairy Book (Complete and Unabridged with Original Illustrations) (Paperback)
It is hard to write reviews for Lang's fairy tale books which are as unique as each collection. The Brown Fairy Book once again has tales from many cultures. Included tales are: How Some Wild Animals Became Tame Ones, Story of the King Who Would Be Stronger Than Fate, The Mermaid and the Boy, The Sister of the Sun, Which Was The Foolishest?, and many others. I always enjoy the illustrations, too, although some children are disappointed they are black and white drawings.

Superb collection of fairy tales from other countries,
By Fuchsia (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Brown Fairy Book (Complete and Unabridged with Original Illustrations) (Paperback)
A Beautifully illustrated collection of fairy tales from different cultures, its refreshing to read tales that aren't just european. When I first bought it I was very disappointed that they weren't the traditional French, German, and English fairy tales but after reading them I found them to be compelling and beautiful. These tales are imaginative, strange, beautiful, wistful, and gorgous. The illustrations are wonderful, they stand in a class of their own. Modern illustrators should use them as inspiration.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Brown Fairy Book (Complete and Unabridged with Original Illustrations) (Paperback)
For some odd reason, this has to be one of my favorite editions of Andrew Lang's collection. I'm not sure why. But as always, we get a good, varying dose of excellent fairy tales from different countries, bettered by the fact that these tales are little known. So, yep, I recommend this for all collectors and those who just plain love a good fairy tale.
