Andrew Lang's famous colored Fairy Books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the undeservedly neglected books of the series are two collections of romances of chivalry. Here are gallant knights, travelling the world in search of adventure, fighting wicked men, slaying monsters, and rescuing damsels in distress.
Here you will find the most noble, generous, and chivalrous knight of them all, Don Quixote of La Mancha. Here is Apuleius the Roman, who hires a witch to change him into a nightingale, but becomes a donkey instead. Here is the Red Cross Knight and his beloved Una, seeking to slay a ferocious dragon. Here is Ogier the Dane, the brave knight of Charlemagne's, who won the love of Morgan le Fay and went to live with her in Avalon. Here is Huon of Bordeaux, and his friend Oberon, the king of the fairies. Here are Bevis of Hampton and Guy of Warwick, the bravest knights who ever lived in England, after the days of the Round Table. Here are Amys and Amyle, the faithful friends; Havelock the banished prince; William of Palermo, who was raised by a friendly were-wolf; and many more.

About the Author
Andrew Lang (March, 31, 1844 July 20, 1912) was a Scottish writer and literary critic who is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang s academic interests extended beyond the literary and he was a noted contributor to the fields of anthropology, folklore, psychical research, history, and classic scholarship, as well as the inspiration for the University of St. Andrew s Andrew Lang Lectures. A prolific author, Lang published more than 100 works during his career, including twelve fairy books, in which he compiled folk and fairy tales from around the world. Lang s Lilac Fairy and Red Fairy books are credited with influencing J. R. R. Tolkien, who commented on the importance of fairy stories in the modern world in his 1939 Andrew Lang Lecture On Fairy-Stories.
