This is the missing eleventh book from the "fairy stories of many colors" series. First published in 1907 it contains stories from all around the world with many from India. This book completes the series.

The remaining volume I mentioned in an earlier post, the rose book, is nothing more than a collection of stories drawn from other already posted books and therefore adds nothing new.

I wish to thank Patricia and Flogiston for pointing me toward sources for this volume. Thank you.

Stories included in this volume are as follows:

Madschun
The Blue Parrot
Geirlug The King’s Daughter
The Story of Little King Loc
A Long-Bow Story
Jackal or Tiger?
The Comb and the Collar
The Thanksgiving of the Wazir
Samba the Coward
Kupti and Imani
The Strange Adventures of Little Maia
Diamond Cut Diamond
The Green Knight
The Five Wise Words of the Guru
The Golden-Headed Fish
Dorani
The Satin Surgeon
The Billy Goat and the King
The Story of Zoulvisia
Grasp All, Lose All
The Fate of the Turtle
The Snake Prince
The Prince and the Princess in the Forest
The Clever Weaver
The Boy Who Found Fear At Last
He Wins Who Waits
The Steel Cane
The Punishment of the Fairy Gangana
The Silent Princess

Don't you mean "the missing twelfth book?"

I've already downloaded 11 others: Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Pink, Grey, Violet, Crimson, Brown, Orange, Lilac.

In any event, thank you very much for undertaking to convert all of these for the Sony Reader -- they are delightful to read!
