At the end, the little boy or girl wakes up and finds that he has been dreaming. Such are the new fairy stories. May we be preserved from all the sort of them! The collections were specifically intended for children and were bowdlerised , as Lang explained in his prefaces.

Tolkien stated in his essay " On Fairy-Stories " that he appreciated the collections but objected to his editing the stories for children. He also criticized Lang for including stories without magical elements in them, with " The Heart of a Monkey " given as an example, where the monkey claims that his heart is outside his body, unlike " The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body " or other similar stories. However, many fairy tale collectors include tales with no strictly marvelous elements. The first edition consisted of 5, copies, which sold for 6 shillings each.

The book assembled a wide range of tales, with seven from the Brothers Grimm, five from Madame d'Aulnoy, three from the Arabian Nights , and four Norwegian fairytales , among other sources. The Red Fairy Book appeared at Christmas in a first printing of 10, copies. In his Preface to this volume, Lang expressed the view that it would be "probably the last" of the collection. Their continuing popularity, however, demanded subsequent collections.

Usually girls have less value than boys, who inherit things. And they don't mention needing to marry her to someone. Rapunzel - Always makes me look up rampion. The Nettle Spinner - One of the more odd stories. Still seems like the Count is the only one to benefit. Farmer Weatherbeard - We never really learn exactly what Weatherbeard is, besides bad news.

Mother Holle - The best part for me is that to reach Mother Holle's land you have to fall into a well. Though I'm not big on the idea of talking bread which I'd worry about eating. Minnikin - Weirdest part is that this is a kid who as a baby goes off to have adventures, and while still a child marries a princess. Oh and fights giant trolls and such. But seriously, a bit young to be married. The Marvelous Musician - Musician has bias against having wolf, fox, hare as friends or pupils. The Story of Sigurd - First paragraph warning: sad ending ooo spoiler!

The stories are so enjoyable, especially as an audiobook. Feb 22, Alice added it. This was a "suggested reading" book for the Charlotte Mason curriculum we are using. It is a collection of fairy tales and there are other books by the same author such as "The Blue Fairy Book".

What I liked: there were many fairy tales that I had never heard of and it was fun to read the new stories.

Another element that I liked was that it didn't "dumb down" the stories for children or take out the sad or scary parts. I don't like the disney type stories that infantilize children by always This was a "suggested reading" book for the Charlotte Mason curriculum we are using. I don't like the disney type stories that infantilize children by always creating a happy ending or leaving out everything that might possibly be scary. A few examples from this book - trolls with nine heads, cutting off limbs, blood, etc. What I didn't like about the book was that all the "fair maidens" were described as astonishingly beautiful, the most pretty, etc etc.

And the evil stepmothers were always ugly. I just really dislike the emphasis on outward appearances. Not sure if I'll read it to my kids yet. Or maybe I'll read it to them and sneakily omit the parts about looks. There's no telling what you'll read in these very imaginative and quite violent tales; pig-men, polygamy, fratricide, and racism are woven throughout with no action, response, or plot point too ridiculous or extreme.

The moral of these stories are that all stepmothers are evil, dark or ugly is bad, and white and beautiful is good. And should these things become confused, no worries fairies will set them straight. Oh and check twice to see if the woman in your bed is really your wife. View 1 comment. May 18, Abby Hagler rated it it was amazing. Red Fairy Book Mixtape: 1. Summer Nights - Marianne Faithful 2.

Jun 27, Elizabeth rated it liked it. I actually liked this a little bit better than the first one. I think I like my fairy tales in smaller doses - this book felt MUCH longer to me than the page numbers would indicate. Part of it was that lots were so similar - there were so many stories with a beautiful kind sister and an ugly mean sister.
