A impressive example of this the second in the 'Rainbow Fairy Books' series by Mr & Mrs Lang. Their Fairy Books were instrumental in a general re-evaluation of both the societal role of fairy tales and their suitability and relevance to children. Stories in this edition include, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk.

Third edition; 8vo (190 x 135); numerous engraved plates and vignette illustrations, all by H.J. Ford, occasional minor spot or mark throughout, else very good; publisher's gilt-pictorial red cloth, gilt edges, very faint spotting to endpapers, spine a little faded, some signs of light wear to extremities, else very good; 372pp.
