What a lovely book; and beautifully illustrated, too.

I see from the Introduction that Mrs Lang did all the actual writing, but that Mr Lang gets his name on the cover as editor. I wonder how many of his other works are actually hers.

From what I have read about the pair it seems that he was the better writer and she was the better editor. With that in mind I would think that the majority of the Lang books of fairy tales that I have posted, although credited to him, were her work. He had the contacts to get the manuscripts; but, she did most of the work to assemble and edit the books. Many of these (the total output of the fairy and romance stories) served as the basis for some of his analytic works.
