Andrew Lang's Yellow Fairy Book (1894)
48 old and forgotten fairy tales and folk tales from around the world

This volume contains 48 Russian, German, French, Icelandic, Red Indian, and other stories. The Editor. Andrew Lang, urges children, as they pursue their studies, to read The Rose and the Ring, by the late Mr. Thackeray.  He believes this book is quite indispensable in every child's library, and parents should be urged to purchase it at the first opportunity, as without it no education is complete.
