London / New York: Longmans, Green and Co. Ltd., 1892. New Edition. Hardcover. Dark Blue Boards with Gilt Lettering on Front and Spine. Original, Good Condition. First published in 1890. Golfing frontispiece "The Baron at St Andrews". Andrew Lang FBA (1844 - 1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. His Blue Fairy Book (1889) was a beautifully produced and illustrated edition of fairy tales that has become a classic. This was followed by many other collections of fairy tales, collectively known as Andrew Lang's Fairy Books despite most of the work for them being done by his wife Leonora Blanche Alleyne and a team of mostly female assistants. Lang's earliest publication was a volume of metrical experiments, The Ballads and Lyrics of Old France (1872), and this was followed at intervals by other volumes of dainty verse, Ballads in Blue China (1880, enlarged edition, 1888), Ballads and Verses Vain (1884), selected by Mr Austin Dobson; Rhymes à la Mode (1884), Grass of Parnassus (1888), Ban and Arrière Ban (1894), New Collected Rhymes (1905). His 1890 collection, Old Friends: Essays in Epistolary Parody, contains letters combining characters from different sources, in what is now known as a crossover. 178pp. No DJ, spine a little worn and chipped at edges, no inscriptions, clean internally [see image scan of actual book], Longmans, Green and Co.
