Andrew Lang (1844-1912). The Orange Fairy Book. Longmans Green and Company, London, 1906.

Price: US$1200.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: xiii+358 pages with tissue guarded color frontispiece plus seven color and 17 black and white plates by H.J. Ford. Small octavo (7 1/4" x 5") bound in original publisher's orange cloth, gilt design to front and spine. First edition in custom enclosure. The Orange Fairy Book delves into the oral traditions of Rhodesia, Uganda, and the American Indian; the traditions of the Punjab and of Jutland; and such familiar European sources as Hans Christian Andersen ( The Ugly Duckling ) and Madame d Aulnoy ( The White Doe ) for its 33 stories. But it is not important that the lad climbing the tree to a cloud kingdom is an Indian brave rather than Jack, or that the giant-killer Makóma is African. The events are familiar favorites with children the world over. All the tales are narrated in clear, lively prose. Not only are Lang s collections generally considered to contain the best English versions of the standard fairy tales; they are also the richest and widest in range. His position as one of England s foremost folklorists, as well as a first-rate editor, make his collections unmatchable in the English language. Condition: Slightly rubbed at spine ends else very good to fine.

LANG, Andrew (ed.).. The Orange Fairy Book. With Eight Coloured Plates and Numerous Illustrations by H. J. Ford.. London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1906, 1906.

Price: US$3250.42 + shipping

Description: First edition, first impression, of the tenth of Andrew Lang's Fairy Books, gathering folk stories from Africa to Jutland, here a particularly fine copy preserving - most unusually - the original dust jacket, without restoration. "The series became a landmark in the presentation of traditional tales, for it introduced children to selections of old and new tales of every kind, known and unknown, and from many different sources, at a time when interest in fairy tales was beginning to decline" (Whalley & Chester, p. 141). Though it is Andrew Lang's name which appears as the author of the fairy books, they were largely the result of the work of others, most crucially female translators such as his wife, Leonora (1851-1933) and others such as May Kendall and Margaret Hunt, both of whom also published fairy tales collections in their own name. Lang acknowledged this in the preface to The Lilac Fairy Book (1910): "The fairy books have been almost wholly the work of Mrs. Lang, who has translated and adapted them from the French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, and other languages". Whalley & Chester, A History of Children's Book Illustration, 1988; Peter Harrington, Leonora Lang's Rainbow Fairy Books, available online. Octavo. Original orange cloth, spine lettered in gilt, fairy design to front cover and spine in gilt, gilt edges. With dust jacket. Colour frontispiece and 6 colour plates with tissue guards, 17 black and white plates, illustrations in the text throughout. Times bookseller's ticket to rear pastedown. A fine copy, bright and tight, in very good dust jacket, chipped with closed tears at extremities yet still a nice example.
