With 37 stories, this anthology presents a wealth of imaginative narratives that range from the whimsical to the moralistic, all imbued with Lang's distinctive storytelling style. His skillful prose and attention to the rhythm of language highlight the importance of folklore as a literary tradition, inviting readers into a world where whimsy and wisdom coexist. The array of tales reflects the rich tapestry of human experience, with fantastical plots and vibrant characters that transcend time and geography. Andrew Lang, a Scottish poet and literary critic, was deeply immersed in the study of mythology and folklore, which likely influenced his decision to compile this remarkable anthology. A prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lang was known for his belief in the cultural significance of fairy tales. His passion for literature and his commitment to preserving the world's folklore culminated in the creation of this collection, where each story serves as a testament to the enduring power of narratives in shaping cultural identities. The Green Fairy Book is a must-read for anyone interested in the realm of fairy tales and folklore. Whether you're a child experiencing these tales for the first time or an adult revisiting classic narratives, this collection offers a delightful escape into a world of magic and moral lessons. It is not only a treasure trove of captivating stories but also an essential piece of literary heritage that continues to inspire readers of all ages.

    This is a children's book regarding bullying and judging others before getting to know them. The book uses black and gray squirrels to help illustrate how these lessons may be learned. 
    Patricia A. Thorpe was a resident of Wisconsin for most of her life until she retired from Certegy as a credit card manager in 2003. In 2006, she moved to Mesa, Arizona where she resides today. She returns to Wisconsin where she spends time with her four sons and five grandchildren during the summer months. 
    Patricia recalls buying many children's books when her sons were young children. She felt reading to her children was paramount and bought many children's books to read to them as learning methods. When her sons were going to start school, she found a book that she felt could assist them in learning what they may experience and feel on their first few days of school. Patricia found a book to help her sons learn their ABCs, simple math calculations, the importance of following the Golden Rule, and most importantly lessons from Aesop's Fables. 
    During the seven years Patricia lived on Lake Kristine in northern Wisconsin, she found herself looking out of the large window from her dining room. From there she observed many different kinds of birds and animals interacting with one another. 
    The memories of buying children's books for her sons led her to decide to create a children's book with a storyline about a hummingbird she lovingly called "Harry." She hopes to create other children's books in the future for young children to enjoy and assist them in learning important life lessons.
