Summary: One of the first of its kind
Review: Andrew Lang was one of the first editors to collect multicultural fairy tales into one volume for readers. The Crimson Fairy Book offers tales from many lands. Included tales are How to find out a True Friend, The Language of Beasts, The Ambitious Tailor, Clever Maria, The Colony of Cats, How the Beggar Boy turned into Count Piro, and many others. The Blue Fairy Book is still the most popular with the best known tales, but look here for lesser known tales.
