Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. A gifted storyteller, Lang possessed an extensive knowledge of mythology, religion, and ancient history, which he combined in his most famous work, the 'Fairy Books' series. 'The Yellow Fairy Book', published in 1894, is part of this highly regarded series, where Lang compiled tales from various sources and different traditions, offering them to the English-speaking audience in an attractive and approachable collection. His literary style incorporates a rich tapestry of magical creatures and adventures, presented with a balance of the fantastical elements of the stories and his scholarly approach to their origins. While Lang often cited the sources of his tales, from Norse sagas to German folklore, his contribution lies in his ability to re-tell these stories in a manner that preserved their enchantment and made them beloved by children and adults alike. Andrew Lang's work remains significant in the canon of children's literature; his fairy books continue to be published and read to this day, marking his enduring legacy as a custodian of cultural storytelling.
