About this book
Andrew Lang's The Orange Fairy Book brings together a captivating collection of fairy tales from cultures around the world, carefully curated and translated by the celebrated editor and his collaborators. This beloved children's classic features enchanting stories such as "The Ugly Duckling," "The White Doe," and "The Clever Cat," alongside lesser-known treasures like "The Story of the Hero Makoma" and "Ian, the Soldier's Son."

The stories range from clever animal adventures—like the jackal's cunning exploits—to magical quests and transformative journeys, each brimming with wonder, wisdom, and timeless lessons. Whether a protagonist must outwit a trickster, discover hidden treasures, or break an enchantment, these fairy tales celebrate courage, cleverness, and compassion in ways that have captivated young readers for generations.
Perfect for children discovering fairy tales for the first time and parents seeking quality storytelling to share with their families, this audiobook edition brings Lang's masterpiece to life through engaging narration. Ideal for bedtime listening or family gatherings, The Orange Fairy Book offers an escape into worlds where magic thrives and good triumphs through wit and heart.
