In this Green Fairy Book, the third in the series, Lang has assembled stories from Spnaish tradition, Chinese tradition, a few of the most entertaining creations penned by the Comte de Caylus, stories by Sebillot, Fenelon, Kletke, and Mme. D'Aulnoy, and of course, some of the best-loved tales form the Brothers Grimm. Here in one attractive paperbound volume with enlarged print - are The Blue Bird, Sylvain and Jocosa, Prince Narcissus, and the Pincess Potentilla, The Three Little Pigs, the Half-Chick, and many other favorite that have become and indispensable part of our culture heritage.

Instead of #greenbooks how about a #green shelf.

This is where I keep my #mgbooks As you can see I need another shelf.

3/ in bed alternating between sleeping and reading — the same as when I was a child.
4/ have fun, Littens!

The cover of this book is lovely ! (Top left). It is inscribed to my dad in 1946 when he was 10. (Top right). Unfortunately 3 year old me inscribed it to my brother in orange crayon. (Bottom left). One of the illustrations can be seen here (Bottom right)

Louise Lovely heirloom! You were writing at 3? Wow! 6y

One shelf down. Josh scratched it a little. It's also not in its permanent home but I need to get my books out of their bags, and out of the spare room as it is the next room we work on.

BTW, the boxes on the floor are the #characters2017 grand prize and second place. I have two other packages to mail as well but I'm waiting on books.

Cortg Haha, I'm thinking about repainting a bookshelf today from lime green to something more neutral to put in the guest room. I'll post a before and after. (edited) 7y
LibrarianRyan @Cortg each of mine will be a different color I think. The blue one gets moved in later today 7y
Bklover Love that green!! 7y
Cortg Sounds fabulous! Looking forward to seeing them! 7y

Tnovo I love the fairy books! ❤️❤️ 7y
rubyslippersreads @readinginthedark I'm so glad @elkeo 's photos talked me unto it. #blameitonlitsy (Does anyone know how to put punctuation after a Litten's name without leaving a space?) 7y
elkeOriginal I have not figured out the punctuation thing! Sometimes I rewrite a sentence to avoid it but that is not always possible! 7y
readinginthedark I don't think you can add punctuation after a name or hashtag because of the tagging process...they haven't gotten that far with the programming, I guess. Maybe you could write it in to customer service as a suggestion? 7y
Mommamanzi These are soooo beautiful! 7y
Gissy Can you show the cover? The spines look so beautiful! 😍 7y
rubyslippersreads @Gissy I'll take a photo of the covers as soon as I get a chance. 😊 7y

Lang gives us a wonderful collection of fairy tales here. I love all the coloured #Folio fairy books and have almost the entire collection (I don't yet own the pink or brown fairy books though)
Gorgeously presented as always and with great illustrations

Tsubame Another #foliofreak hooray! Now you've got me seriously jealous, because I've just found out about FS this year and can only call the pink fairy book my own yet, but one day I'll have them all 😌 7y
Jamesfahyauthor @Tsubame I have a tremendous amount of folios 😁 I've only just started posting them on here but there are more on my other page. My dog ate my folio of Alice in wonderland last year and when I posted a pic of the destroyed book, the lovely folio folk sent me a replacement. They're so lovely 7y
Tsubame That's such a lovely story! 😊 And your dogs seems to have an excellent taste, so who can blame him? 😁 7y

LeahBergen I haven't seen this one! I only have Pink and Blue 😩😩 7y
elkeOriginal @LeahBergen It's still available on their site! I have a friend who bought the FULL Fairy set in one go. And now Folio only carries a few. We missed our chance! Our chance at bankruptcy 🤣🤣 7y
Tsubame Soooooo gorgeous!! Next in my line is the Red Fairy Book, but before that I'll get the tales from Grimm. It's illustrated by Arthur Rackham 😍😍😍 7y

Those tricky Folio people sent me a Qd coupon after my first order - so I willingly slid down the slippery slope. After much hemming & hawing I went for the Green Fairy book. ?

Kalalalatja You are killing me with all the beautiful Folio books! I just want to buy them all 😩😍 7y
elkeOriginal @Kalalalatja Well, I also ordered a few used Folio editions so you may have to just look away when I post them - because I am afraid this isn't going to stop 😁 7y
Kalalalatja Most likely I am going to look, and I am going to be very jealous, but also very happy for you 😄😄 7y
Shan-nana Folio make the prettiest editions! 😍 7y
tpixie So pretty! I'm holding out on buying folio, but it's hard!!! Maybe Christmas presents for others! 7y
