    About this audiobook

    This is a story of one king, whose wife ceased to love him and enchanted him after he has mortally wounded her favorite slave who was her lover. Earlier the kingdom consisted of the isles, but the queen turned it to four small mountains and all the people in the kingdom to fishes. The queen made her poor husband half-marble. She came every day to beat him. By the enchantments, she kept her slave alive, but he couldn’t move or speak. The unfortunate king told this pity story to the Sultan and they together made up a plan to revenge on the enchantress. Whether they succeeded or not you will know when you read the whole fairy tale.

    Andrew Lang

    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.”
