The Pink Fairy Book
Andrew Lang
A cat elopes, a dragon gets thoroughly tricked, and a goblin picks the wrong grocer. Andrew Lang's rose colored gathering ranges from Japan's Uraschimataro and the turtle to Grimm's house in the wood, with Andersen alongside. Fairy tales from half the world, chosen by the great collector himself. Open the pink covers and wander. 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.
