Ford contains many traditional fairy tales such as Father Grumbler, The Cunning Hare, The Wicked Wolverine, The Elf Maiden, The Enchanted Head, Kisa the Cat, Which was the Foolishest?, The Sister of the Sun and many more. Andrew Lang (1844 1912) was a Scots poet, novelist and literary critic, with a passion for folkloric story telling. Most of his volumes (including this, The Brown Fairy Book) were beautifully illustrated by Henry J. Ford (1860 1941), an inordinately talented artist who came to public attention with his illustrations for Lang. The books captured the imagination of British children, and later became worldwide bestsellers in the 1880s and 1890s. This Brown Fairy Book forms part of Andrew Langs Coloured Fairy Books series a series of twelve collections of fairy tales, published between 1889 and 1910. Each volume is distinguished by its own colour, and all in all, 437 tales from a wide array of cultures and countries are presented.
