Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a Scottish writer, critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology who is particularly famed for his work as a collector of folk and fairy tales. With a prodigious literary output, Lang distinguished himself not only as a folklorist but also as a poet, novelist, and historian. His scholarly acumen was evident in the breadth of topics he touched; however, it is for his vibrant fairy tale compilations that he is best remembered, especially 'The Blue Fairy Book' (1889), which was the first in a series culminating in 'The Lilac Fairy Book' (1910). His book 'The Library' (1881) represents another facet of his work, highlighting his keen interest in literature and bibliophil. An advocate of the higher criticism, Lang's literary style is marked by a clear, engaging narrative voice, a sharp wit, and an evident respect for myth and story. Such qualities made his work accessible to both children and adults, bridging the gap between academic scholarship and popular narrative. Lang's legacy survives in the prominence his collections still maintain in the corpus of classic children's literature.
