Fairytales are a universal part of childhood. No matter what time or what place you grew up, you have at one point or another heard that classic phrase “once upon a time.” They are usually the first stories we ever hear or read. These types of tales set us up to understand the art of stories and storytelling, and they are certainly worth revisiting. Here in The Blue Fairy Book, the first of Andrew Lang’s beloved collections of classic fairy stories, you will return to the tales you already know.

You'll love this collection of stories featuring quirky, yet lovable family members. In "Translating Aunt Edna", three boys decide to play a trick on their aunt, who insists on teaching them new vocabulary words. The English language can be complicated - there are so many words that describe the same thing! You’ll discover many of them in this silly story about a group of siblings who decide they are sick of learning new words!
