Explore Andrew Lang books at New West Press.

Andrew Lang's collection brings together fairy tales, legendary adventures, and stories from older literary traditions. The Blue Fairy Book, The Red Fairy Book, and the other coloured Fairy Books offer varied collections rather than one continuous story. Their familiar association with Andrew Lang also belongs to a collaborative history: Leonora Blanche Lang and other contributors translated and retold many of the tales. Alongside these volumes, the collection includes Tales of Troy and Greece and The Arabian Nights Entertainments, giving readers several routes into a broad world of traditional storytelling.

Fairy tales invite readers to think about promises, generosity, courage, and consequences through memorable images rather than lengthy explanations. They also reward comparison: a familiar plot can change significantly from one retelling to another. Read a tale aloud, discuss a character's choice, or explore how language and imagery create its atmosphere. Browse the available editions for your fairy tale shelf.
