One of Andrew Lang’s celebrated Coloured Fairy Book series, The Red True Story Book sets itself apart by gathering true — or at least legendary — accounts of heroes and adventurers rather than traditional fairy tales. The collection ranges across history and legend, presenting tales of real courage and daring from many cultures and eras.
Lang’s editorial hand and the lively Victorian prose make these stories highly readable, and the variety of subjects — from ancient warriors to medieval knights — gives the collection broad appeal. Download the free EPUB and discover the true stories that inspired generations of young readers.
