书籍简介

《朗格橄榄色童话》共收录童话二十九篇，配有数幅精美插图。所收童话主要包括土耳其、印度、丹麦、亚美尼亚和苏丹的故事。

如“绿衣骑士”，他被九条蛇所救；“矮人国国王洛克”，他爱上了美丽的阿蓓叶；可爱的“朵兰尼”每夜都飞往仙境。这些离奇曲折、妙趣横生、寓意幽深的童话故事读来令人爱不释手，获益匪浅。童话作为一种民间传说，是人类最古老的文学作品，神奇而美丽的童话带给孩子们五彩斑谰的遐想，特别是安德鲁·朗格编撰的优美故事，更使儿童们的世界绚丽多彩。希望我们精心翻译出版的这套童话丛书，成为孩子们的好伙伴，父母和教师的好帮手。

The Olive Fairy Book includes unusual stories from Turkey, India, Denmark, Armenia, the Sudan, and the pen of Anatole France. But all of the stories are told in the common language of the fairy tale, and their heroes — the Green Knight who is saved by a soup made from nine snakes, the lovely Dorani who flies every night to fairyland, the king who understands the language of the animals — will be welcome to children and grown-ups alike.

All in all, this collection contains 29 stories, all narrated in clear lively prose. Not only are Lang's collections generally considered to contain the best English versions of the standard stories; they are the richest and widest in range.

"Admirable series of photographic reprints of the first editions. Altogether very good value." — New York Review of Books.
