    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.”

      PREFACE

      ..................

      THIS POOR LITTLE FLUTTER OF rhymes would not have been let down the wind: the project would have been abandoned but for the too flattering encouragement of a responsible friend.  I trust that he may not live to rue the day, like Keith of Craigentolly in the ballad.

      The Loyal Lyrics on Charles and James and the White Rose must not be understood as implying a rebellious desire for the subversion of the present illustrious dynasty.

      "These are but symbols that I sing,

      These names of Prince, and rose, and King;

      Types of things dear that do not die,

      But reign in loyal memory.

      Across the water surely they

      Abide their twenty-ninth of May;

      And we shall hail their happy reign,

      When Life comes to his own
