  The Yellow Fairy Book is one of the celebrated fairy-tale collections edited by Andrew Lang (1844–1912), the Scottish poet, folklorist, historian, and literary critic. Lang devoted much of his life to gathering and retelling traditional stories from around the world, making them accessible to generations of readers. Although his name appears on the cover, the work of translating and adapting many of these tales was undertaken with the invaluable assistance of his wife, Leonora Blanche Lang. 
  First published in 1894, The Yellow Fairy Book is the fourth volume in Lang's famous Fairy Book series, following The Blue Fairy Book, The Red Fairy Book, and The Green Fairy Book. Like its companions, it brings together a rich assortment of stories drawn from diverse cultures and traditions, preserving old folklore while presenting it in a lively and engaging form. 
  The tales that follow are filled with magic, adventure, courage, and wit. Some have become enduring classics, while others remain delightful discoveries for modern readers. Together they offer a glimpse into the imagination of many peoples and many ages, united by the timeless appeal of storytelling. 
  Some are not for the squeamish and are by no means the sanitised versions of Fairy Stories that we often see and hear. 
  Head Stories Audio presents The Yellow Fairy Book by Andrew Lang. With original music and narration by Simon Hester.

  The Conqueror Worm: Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories.
  
  Lo! ’tis a gala night
  Within the lonesome latter years!
  An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
  In veils, and drowned in tears,
  Sit in a theatre, to see
  A play of hopes and fears,
  While the orchestra breathes fitfully
  The music of the spheres.

  Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born on the 16th October 1854 in Dublin, Ireland.  The son of Dublin intellectuals Oscar proved himself an outstanding classicist at Trinity College and then at Oxford. 
  Wilde then moved to London and its fashionable cultural and social circles.  With his biting wit, flamboyant dress, and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the most well-known personalities of his day. 
  His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ was published in 1890 and he then moved on to writing for the stage with ‘Salome’ in 1891.  His society comedies were enormous hits and turned him into one of the most successful writers of late Victorian London. 
  Whilst his masterpiece, ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’, was on stage in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, prosecuted for libel.  The trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency. He was convicted and imprisoned for two years hard labour. It was to break him. 
  On release he left for France. There he wrote his last work, ‘The Ballad of Reading Gaol’ in 1898.  He died destitute in Paris at the age of forty-six sipping champagne a friend had brought with the line ‘Alas I am dying beyond my means’.
