"The Blue Fairy Book" by Andrew Lang, with a frontispiece by Frank Godwin, published by David McKay Company, Philadelphia, undated late 1920s-early 1930s.

Hard boards, original blue cloth with illustration on the front board [some wear and soiling]; 5.1/4" x 7.3/4"; decorated endpapers, color frontispiece on glossy paper, 341 pages, very good condition.

"The Blue Fairy Book" was the first volume in the series and so it contains some of the best known tales, taken from a variety of sources: not only from Grimm, but exciting adventures by Charles Perrault and Madame d'Aulnoy, The Arabian Nights, and other stories from popular traditions. Here in one attractive paperbound volume — with enlarged print — are "Sleeping Beauty," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Beauty and the Beast," "Hansel and Gretel," "Puss in Boots," "Trusty John," "Jack the Giantkiller," "Goldilocks," and many other favorites that have become an indispensable part of our cultural heritage.
