The Blue Fairy Book is a collection of fairy tales compiled by Andrew Lang and first published in 1889. The book was a success, and subsequent editions were published in the 1890s. Lang enlisted the help of illustrator Charles Van Sandwyk to produce the first illustrated edition of the book, which was published in 1998. The book contains classic fairy tales such as “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella,” as well as lesser-known tales from around the world. The Blue Fairy Book has been praised for its inclusion of stories from diverse cultures, and it continues to be a popular choice for bedtime reading.
