Andrew Lang's All 12 Fairy Books $.95/$1.99[Children] (B&N/Amazon)

These are by 2 different publishers but formatted basically the same. These are all available in public domain separately but this is a nice collection.

Product Description

The Crimson Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, The Orange Fairy Book, The Olive Fairy Book, and The Lilac Fairy Book.

According to Wikipedia: "Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books constitute a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources, who had collected them originally (with the notable exception of Madame d'Aulnoy), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories." We updated this book on 9/15/2008, adding links to each individual story (about 400 of them), to make it easier for you to navigate through this huge file and get to the story you want to read.
This one was updated again 9/2/2010. $1.99
