Kindle Blue bearded dragon Moving to London at the age of 31 already a published poet he started working as a journalist His dry sense of humour writing style and huge array of interests made him a popular editor and columnist and he was soon writing for The Daily Post Time magazine and Fortnightly Review It was whilst working in London that he met and married his wife Leonore Blanche Alleyne. Blue Beard booklet The Fairy BooksAmongst the most famous of Andrew Lang books are The Rainbow Fairy Books growing from Lang s interest in myths and folklore which continued to grow as he and Leonore travelled through France and Italy hearing local legends In the late 19th century interest in the native fairy tales of Britain had declined and there were very few books recounting them for young readers In fact fairy tales and magical stories in general were being attacked by some educationalists as being harmful to children It was to challenge this notion that Lang first began collecting fairy stories for the first of his coloured fairy books The Blue Fairy Book. Bluebeard poem Whilst other folklorists collected stories directly from source Lang set about gathering those stories which had already been recorded This gave him time to collect a much greater breadth of fairy tales from all over the world most from well known writers such as the Brothers Grimm Madame d Aulnoy and others from less well known sources Whilst Lang also worked as the editor for his work and is often credited as its sole creator the support of his wife who transcribed and organised the translation of the text was essential to the work s success The Blue Fairy Book was published in 1889 to wide acclaim The beautiful illustrations and magical tales captivated the minds of children and adults alike The success of the first book allowed Lang and Leonore to carry on their research and in 1890 they published The Red Fairy Book which drew on even sources and had a much larger print run Between 1889 and 1910 they published twelve collections of fairy tales each with a different coloured binding with a total of 437 stories collected edited and translated The books are credited with reviving interest in folklore but importantly for Lang they revolutionised the Victorian view of fairy tales inspiring generations of parents to begin reading them to children once.
