    About this ebook

    Scottish Renaissance man Andrew Lang made important contributions in a staggering array of academic and creative disciplines. In addition to publishing many works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, he also was instrumental in the formation of the field of study now known as anthropology and was an important collector of folk tales in Europe and the UK. This volume of collected tales and scholarly analysis offers fascinating insight into the role that dreams and supernatural elements play in folklore and myth.

    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.”
