The Olive Fairy Book

Andrew Lang

Madschun opens the box, and out come the blue parrot, Geirlaug the king's daughter, and little King Loc. Andrew Lang's olive-colored gathering ranges far for its wonders, with a long-bow story thrown in for spice and colored plates to match. The great fairy series in one of its richest late volumes. Pick the olive book from the shelf. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
