La Pucelle de France
Histoire de la vie et de la mort de Jeanne d'Arc
Andrew Lang Livres
31 mars 1844 – 20 juillet 1912
Andrew Lang fut un homme de lettres écossais remarquablement prolifique, aujourd'hui surtout connu comme collecteur de contes populaires et de contes de fées. Son œuvre s'est nourrie d'une profonde fascination pour le folklore et l'histoire, suscitée par les paysages évocateurs de son enfance. Bien que Lang se soit consacré à un large éventail d'activités littéraires, son héritage le plus durable réside dans ses vastes collections de contes de fées, qui ont ravivé l'intérêt pour les traditions populaires et remodelé la vision victorienne des histoires magiques. Ces collections, souvent appelées les "Livres de Contes de Fées Arc-en-ciel", ont revitalisé le genre et inspiré des générations d'enfants et de parents.

In our Fairy Cabinet we have aimed at pleasing children, not 'grown-ups, ' at whom the old French writers directed their romances, but have hunted for fairy tales in all quarters, not in Europe alone. In this volume we open, thanks to Dr. Ignaz Knnos, with a story from the Turks. 'Little King Loc' is an original invention by M. Anatole France, which he very kindly permitted Mrs. Lang to adapt from "L'Abeille." -- from Andrew Lang's Preface to this volume.
