Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He was born in Selkirk and educated at Edinburgh Academy, St Andrews University, and at Balliol College, Oxford. After graduating, Lang soon became known for his work as a journalist and as an author, publishing his first volumes of poetry and his highly regarded book on folklore, 'Custom and Myth' (1884). As a prolific writer, Lang's breadth of knowledge and literary skill were evident in 'Books and Bookmen' (1886), where he examined the world of books with his characteristic erudition and wit. With his diverse interests, Lang not only penned volumes of poems but also wrote novels, histories, and works of criticism. He is especially remembered for his collections of fairy tales, The 'Coloured Fairy Books' series, which have charmed generations of children and adults alike. His literary style combined rigorous scholarship with a storytelling charm that ensnared the imaginations of his readers, taking them on a delightful journey through myths, folklore, and the intricacies of literary creation. Lang's contributions to literary criticism, particularly seen in 'Books and Bookmen', confirm his position as a significant figure in the late 19th and early 20th-century letters, whose works remain a valuable window into the literary culture of his time.
