Day, Andrea (2017-09-19). " "Almost wholly the work of Mrs. Lang": Nora Lang, Literary Labour, and the Fairy Books". Women's Writing. 26 (4): 400–420. doi: 10.1080/09699082.2017.1371938. S2CID 164414996. According to Anita Silvey, "The irony of Lang's life and work is that although he wrote for a profession—literary criticism; fiction; poems; books and articles on anthropology, mythology, history, and travel ... he is best recognized for the works he did not write." [2]
When Brooke rescues a fairy from the clutches of her cat, she is granted seven wishes. She can’t wait to see what magic she can create – but as everyone knows, you have to be careful what you wish for, as Brooke’s wishes don’t always turn out the way she intended!

The Brothers Grimm and Folktale, ISBN 0-252-01549-5The Red Book of Animal Stories (1899) [ edit ] Illustration from " Joseph: Whose proper name was Josephine" by H. J. Ford The themes explored are suitable for children aged 6-10 to read on their own, but if your children are anything like mine, they still love it when you read to them too! 15 Magical Fairy Book Series for 6-10 Year Olds Today I am sharing 15 magical fairy books series (that might just include one or two featuring other magical creatures!) as read alikes for the Rainbow Magic titles. Those early on the list are primarily shorter chapter books, with simple vocabulary and some illustrations scattered throughout the story, and the series suggestions develop in complexity as you move through the list. Misty Wood is a very magical place – so magical that all the cute animals who live there fly like fairies, and every animal has a different pair of fairy wings. They each also have a very special job to do in these sweet stories that are sure to resonate with young fairy lovers. For as long as she can remember, twelve-year-old Emily Windsnap has lived on a boat. And, oddly enough, for just as long, her mother has seemed anxious to keep Emily away from the water. But when Mum finally agrees to let her take swimming lessons, Emily learns she’s half-mermaid!
Thirty-five stories, many from oral traditions, and others from French, German and Italian collections. Celebrating the inner fire of everyday kids, in Dragon Girls Azmina, Willa and Naomi are summoned to the Magic Forest by its ruler, the Tree Queen, to find out that they have dragon-selves with unbelievable abilities. With this newfound magic comes great responsibility, as the Dragon Girls are sworn protectors of the forest and must help keep it safe from the troublesome Shadow Sprites, who are determined to take the forest’s magic for their own. A series for children at the upper end of this age range as it is more wordy, The Fairy Realm series is about a young girl’s discovery of a secret door in her grandmother’s garden – it leads to the magical world of the Realm. All kinds of magical beings live in the Realm, and a noble Queen in a great golden palace rules them all. But everything in this magic kingdom is not as idyllic as it first seems, the Realm is in danger and Jessie must outwit an evil enemy to save it before it is all destroyed. Rainbow Magic books are arranged thematically into mini sets of four or seven books, helping young readers to explore their favourite topics, from professions to animals, sports, and hobbies, with the help of different fairies. The Rainbow Magic Fairies include The Music Fairies, The Endangered Animals Fairies, The Discovery Fairies, The After School Sports Fairies, The Dance Fairies, and many more. Both of our daughters (and many of their friends!) were big fans of the Rainbow Magic book series which led me on a search for books like Rainbow Magic and down a magical path into delightful fairy book series for six to ten year olds!Thirteen-year-old Tanya is tormented by evil faeries. The problem is, she is the only one who can see them. Exasperated and concerned by Tanya’s behavior, her mother sends her to live with her grandmother in Elvesden Manor. Tanya is free to roam and explore, but is warned against entering the nearby Hangman’s Wood, where another girl mysteriously died 50 years ago. Yet this girl and the Hangman’s Wood might hold the answer to Tanya’s troubles. The Fairy Ring by Mary Losure While the Rainbow Magic book series offered a gentle introduction into the world of chapter books, I was secretly relieved when my own children finally moved on from them. While this series of magical stories of friendship are somewhat captivating for 5-8 year olds, I found them a little too repetitive and formulaic to be overly enjoyable…at least as an adult! Leonora Blanche Alleyne (1851–1933) was an English author, editor, and translator. Known to her family and friends as Nora, she assumed editorial control of the series in the 1890s, [1] while her husband, Andrew Lang (1844–1912), a Scots poet, novelist, and literary critic, edited the series and wrote prefaces for its entire run.
