Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a prolific Scottish writer and poet known for his work in anthropology, criticism, and especially folklore. His literary career spanned a vibrant range of genres, yet he is most celebrated for his collections of fairy tales and his contributions to the field of mythology. Born in Selkirk, Lang later attended the University of St. Andrews and then Balliol College, Oxford, where he distinguished himself in classics. Although well-versed in ancient Greek literature, Lang's interests were far from limited to academic pursuits. A notable work of fiction, 'Prince Prigio' encapsulates Lang's imaginative storytelling, blending humor with his penchant for the fantastical. His fairy tales, while absorbing for children, also appealed to adults with their wit and often satirical edge. Beyond his fairy tale collections, Lang's Blue Fairy Book series initiated a popular color-themed series of fairy tale anthologies. A versatile literary figure, Lang also made significant contributions to Homeric scholarship, folklore, and even dabbled in historical texts. His literary style often mixed a scholarly approach with an engaging narrative voice, inviting readers of all ages to delight in his vast treasure trove of stories. Moreover, Lang's legacy endures not only in his written work but also through the Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St. Andrews, celebrating his impact on literature and scholarship.
