About the Author 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.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Lang at ease By Christopher (o.d.c.) Published 1891.The topics range fromAlexandre Dumas, Mr. Stevenson's works, Homer and the Study of Greek, The Last Fashionable Novel, Thackeray, Dickens,toAdventures of Buccaneers, The Sagas, Charles Kingsley, etc, etc.Who but myself has a taste for old essays? I hadn't even heard of Andrew Lang before I started searching for "essays" in the Kindle store.These essays are fine- almost boyish in their enthusiasm and playfulness- "The Last Fashionable Novel" is a mash up of Ouida and James Fenimore Cooper, the point of which I'm sure I missed- but I still liked the parody. His essays of Buccaneers and Sagas- well, who but an overgrown boy would write essays on buccaneers and sagas?:".. For the wise world, which reads newspapers all day and half the night, does not care much for books, still less for good books, least of all for old books. You can make no money out of reading Sagas: they have nothing to say about stocks and shares, nor about Prime Ministers and politics. Nor will they amuse a man, if nothing amuses him but accounts of races and murders, or gossip about Mrs. Nokes's new novel, Mrs. Stokes's new dresses, or Lady Jones's diamonds. The Sagas only tell how brave men--of our own blood very likely--lived, and loved, and fought, and voyaged, and died, before there was much reading or writing, when they sailed without steam, travelled without railways, and warred hand-to-hand, not with hidden dynamite and sunk torpedoes. But, for stories of gallant life and honest purpose, the Sagas are among the best in the world."
