Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's
"Coloured" Fairy Books are a twelve-book series of fairy tale
collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself
from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources (who had collected
them originally), made them an immensely influential collection,
especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these
tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the
prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife
and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling
of the actual stories. Many of them were illustrated by Henry J. Ford.
Lancelot Speed also did some illustrations. (Summary from Wikipedia)
