Author

Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was one of Victorian Britain's most versatile men of letters — poet, novelist, critic, historian, and pioneering folklorist who treated fairy tales as serious cultural evidence. The twelve coloured fairy books made him famous, but they were only part of a career that ranged from Homer to psychical research, from Scottish ballads to literary quarrels with the age's biggest names.
