Lot #15: The Red Fairy Book - Andrew Lang - Folio Society 2005 Embossed Cover With Slipcase Profusely Illustrated

All 380 pages sound clean intact spine taut 10" x 8" See companion The Blue Fairy Book #7 This lovely book was first published in 1890 by Longmans Green. And the fact that it is as readable today as it was then is a testament to the power of Lang's books. There are 37 tales including: The Enchanted Pig Rapunzel, The Enchanted Canary The Golden Goose The Story of Sigurd and Jack and the Beanstalk. There are sixteen plates in all including the frontis piece. Thirteen are in colour and three in black and white and Niroot Puttapipat's fanciful style is truly tailor made for the stories. Personally, I am particularly partial to the enchanted pig .... The book measures 7 1/4 by 10 inches and there are 380 pages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vy8aXJq5kbTE https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/red-fairy-book/author/lang/publisher/folio-society/ Dimensions: 10" x 8" Pickup category timeslot {A}
