About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Red Fairy Book, edited by Andrew Lang. Read by LibriVox volunteers. The Red Fairy Book is the second in a series of twelve books known as Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Books. The series was immensely popular and proved of great influence in children's literature, increasing the popularity of fairy tales over tales of real life. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia)
