    I love collecting special editions of children's books. In this video I'm sharing some fairy tale books by Andrew Lang. Aren't the bindings cool? I'm showing a couple different editions of various books including:
    -The Crimson Fairy Book
    -The Yellow Fairy Book
    -The Green Fairy Book
    -The Blue Fairy Book
    -The Brown Fairy Book
    -The Pink Fairy Book
    -The Strange Story Book
    -The Book of Saints and Heroes

      Oh you got the entire set! That's really cool, in any edition. Andrew Lang is so fun.

    I have half of these. They are not easy to find but they are beautiful.

      I would love to finish up the collection, but you're right they are hard to find. Even harder when you are on a budget :)

    Lovely collection! I've only read Lang through Gutenberg. Would love to come across one of these older editions in the wild but haven't as of yet.

      I am rooting for you! Once you start looking I bet you will find them. There are many editions and they are all fun.

    The only books that I remember as a young girl were the Nancy Drew series and whenever I go to thrift bookstores unfortunately I don’t see any. 😩

      I see them ALL the time! I wonder if it's regional?

      You can't dig through hundreds instead thousands or tens of thousands of books a exciting endeavor to be certain.

    Hello. I wonder if you know of a general list of the table of contents for all of the 12 volumes. It's frustrating to want to find a certain tale and have to go through all 12 to find it! Do you know of anyone who has put together a complete table of contents? I hope so. Thanks for this. Anne

      Trying to remember a title can be so hard! It looks like wikipedia might be what you are looking for:
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lang%27s_Fairy_Books
      Hope that helps!
