Amazon.com: From the day that they were first printed, the Lang fairy tale books of many colors have entertained thousands of boys and girls as well as their parents. In THE VIOLET FAIRY BOOK, we hear strange and exotic tales from the far corners of the earth, but they are told in the common language of the fairy tale, familiar to children and grownups alike.
