The Blue Fairy Book is a series of 25 compilations of factual and made-up stories for kids that Andrew Lang and his wife, Leonora Blanche Alleyne, produced between 1889 and 1913. The 12 collections of fairy tales that make up Andrew Lang's "Colored" Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's Fairy Books of Many Colors are the most well-known books in the series. Along with the 153 poems in The Blue Poetry Book, the volumes contain a total of 798 stories. The majority of the labor was done by Nora, even though Andrew is frequently given credit for choosing the stories in the Fairy Books. These were translated into English by her and a group of writers, largely women, including May Kendall and Violet Hunt, who modified them to fit Victorian and Edwardian expectations of decorum. The Green Fairy Book, the third book in the series, is where Nora's contribution is first acknowledged. She is then given the following name: "Madame Lang " and writes the majority of the retellings. Henry Justice Ford illustrated The Red Book of Heroes (1909) and The Book of The 12 Colored Fairy Books; credit for the first two volumes was split between G. P. Jacomb-Hood and Lancelot Speed.
