Omschrijving

Andrew Lang's 'Yellow Fairytales' is a collection of lesser-known fairy tales from around the world, characterized by their unique yellow covers. These tales, which vary greatly in tone and content, offer a departure from the more commonly known fairy tales and provide readers with a fresh perspective on the genre. Lang's writing style is simple yet engaging, making the stories accessible to readers of all ages. The inclusion of diverse cultural narratives adds depth and richness to the collection, setting it apart from other fairy tale compilations of the time. 'Yellow Fairytales' sits within the literary context of the late 19th century fascination with folklore and fairy tales, making it a valuable contribution to the genre. Andrew Lang, a Scottish writer and folklorist, drew inspiration from his extensive research into world folklore to curate this enchanting collection. His passion for preserving and sharing these tales shines through in every story featured in 'Yellow Fairytales.' This book is recommended for readers interested in exploring a diverse range of fairy tales beyond the commonly retold classics, offering a treasure trove of lesser-known stories waiting to be discovered.
