Andrew Lang & Fairy Books
Published March 1, 2013 | iHomeschool Network is celebrating March birthdays this month!
Who was Andrew Lang?
What did he do?
He is famous {at least in our home} for his fairy books:
adventure
knights
thieves
dragons
princesses
magicians
imagination
–these are the fairy books filled with tales compiled by Andrew Lang. My boys enjoy these stories which include a little more, um, violence and gore than the fluffy tales most books tell. And, despite the big boy appeal, these books are filled with lessons in truth, goodness, hope, honesty, and beauty. These stories take us to a place where good triumphs over evil and are worth reading and discussing.
To celebrate Lang's birthday, I'm offering a few printables to use with his books.
Elijah insisted that I add this disclaimer: I've allowed my children to enjoy Lang's fairy stories with just a simple discussion or narration, and I would encourage you to do something similar. Please use the notebooking pages for a special project or a once-in-awhile activity but not for every single story.

Most of Lang's books are offered for free for your e-reader. You can find them at Amazon or through The Gutenberg Project. You can also find the good old-fashioned kind at Amazon {see links below}:
The Grey Fairy Book {Elijah's favorite}

I can’t even begin to tell you how happy this makes me! The fairy books are our very favorite! Thank you so much for your super cute pages!
Awesome! My daughter found The Green Fairy Book on our shelves a few weeks ago & has fallen in love. We’ve been reading The Blue Fairy Book off the Kindle for PC, but she’s like her mom & loves a good book in hand.
Thank you!
Thank you for introducing me to Andrew Lang’s Fairy books, they look wonderful. I was wondering if you still Delight Directed Homeschooling? I recently found your blog and have been reading it a lot but realized that the dd posts were from a couple of years ago. I am curious to see how this way of homeschooling works as the children get older and if you can give me any more information on your experience. Thank you so much.
