    Description

    Limited Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

    The limited edition, large paper edition. Number 66 out of one hundred and forty copies. This limited edition was published in the same year as the first edition, and is desirable due to the small limitation.

    'The Red Fairy book' is the second book in Andrew Lang's renowned 'Fairy Book' series, in which Lang compiled fictional and sometimes true stories, fairy tales and folk tales from around the world. In this volume Lang compiled stories from French, Russian, Danish, Romanian, and Norse mythology.
