Strange Story Book

Published posthumously, 'Strange Story Book' (1912) is a collection of fairy tales compiled by Leonora Blanche Lang, the widow of children's story collector Andrew Lang. This volume serves as the final installment of his fairy story series, featuring tales that were not included in previous collections. In her preface, Lang honors her husband’s love for traditional stories and his bond with children, highlighting his preference for the old over the new and his aversion to travel despite a longing for adventure.
