David Widger and Charles Keller for Tina "The Red Fairy Book" by Andrew Lang is a collection of fairy tales compiled during the late 19th century. This anthology brings together a variety of enchanting stories, drawing from different European folklore traditions to captivate readers with timeless themes of adventure, love, and magic. In the opening chapters, we are introduced to characters like the little cow-boy known as the Star Gazer, who dreams of marrying a princess and embarks on a journey to the castle of Beloeil, where he encounters twelve beautiful but mysterious princesses. At the start of the book, the reader meets Michael, the Star Gazer, who has a whimsical nature and dreams of grandeur beyond his humble life as a cow-boy. After receiving a prophetic dream instructing him to seek a princess, he sets out to the castle of Beloeil. There, he learns of the princesses' peculiar nightly escapades, evidenced by their worn-out dancing shoes each morning, and takes a job in the castle to get closer to them. With the aid of two magical laurel trees provided by a lady in his dreams, Michael gains the ability to disguise himself and win the affection of Princess Lina, launching a captivating adventure filled with secrets and the quest for love. This charming tale sets the tone for other stories in the collection, which explore similar themes of adventure, magic, and the triumph of love over adversity.
