There is nothing quite like settling in with a great collection of fairy tales. My colleague, Jessica, has written at length about the topic, and today, I’d like to throw one of my favorite suggestions into the ring. This month, I had a presentation at the Westlake Community Center where I shared some fairy tales collected by the author and anthropologist Andrew Lang and his wife, Leonora. If you’d like to indulge in a wide array of fun stories, then look no further than Lang’s rainbow fairy books collection.

These substantial story collections feature folk and fairytales from all over the world and have been a considered classics for many years. In fact, these adventures even inspired many beloved authors, including Rudyard Kipling, Margaret Atwood, and JRR Tolkien!

Simply click on the covers below to check out an ebook for each collection!

Happy reading!
