Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known for his work as a collector of folk and fairy tales. A prolific writer, Lang published over 100 volumes during his lifetime, including twelve fairy tale collections, of which 'The Olive Fairy Book' (1907) is a part. This book, like the others in Lang's colorful Fairy Books series, is a compilation of stories drawn from various cultures, enchanting readers with tales of magic and adventure. Lang's literary style often intertwined mythological themes with historical storytelling, which was indicative of his broader academic interests in mythology and anthropology. An important figure in the field of children's literature, Lang's work resonated with the Victorian and Edwardian era audiences, as he brought to them stories that transcended geographical boundaries and cultural barriers. Renowned for his diverse literary talents, he also engaged in the writings of Homeric scholarship and criticism; his work 'Homer and the Epic' is a notable reference in the classics field. Lang's legacy as a seminal figure in the collection and popularization of fairy tales has solidified his position as a significant contributor to the literary canon, shaping the ways in which folk and fairy narratives are appreciated in literary scholarship.
