Andrew Lang

    March 31, 1844 – July 20, 1912

    Andrew Lang was a remarkably prolific Scots man of letters, best known today as a collector of folk and fairy tales. His work drew deeply from a fascination with folklore and history, sparked by the evocative landscapes of his childhood. While Lang engaged with a wide array of literary pursuits, his most enduring legacy lies in his extensive collections of fairy tales, which revived interest in folk traditions and reshaped the Victorian view of magical stories. These collections, often referred to as the Rainbow Fairy Books, revitalized the genre and inspired generations of children and parents alike.
