Andrew Lang Knihy

Kniha obsahuje najkratšie a najkrajšie rozprávky z celého sveta známe už pred rokom 1910. V tomto prvom výbere ich je 20. Ich slovná zásoba zodpovedá deťom, ktoré sa ešte len učia čítať, alebo dokonca i mladším, pre ktoré ju môžu čítať ich rodičia. Pomocou týchto krátkych príbehov si naši mladí čitatelia a zvedavé malé hviezdičky rodiny dokážu zlepšiť svoju pozornosť a sústrediť sa na niečo, čo im niekto druhý rozpráva alebo číta. Dočítate sa tu tajnosti zo sveta zvierat, kráľov, princezien, dobrodruhov a mnohých iných odvážlivcov z minulosti, ktorí sa rozhodli získať ruku princeznej alebo i celé kráľovstvo a tak navždy spečatiť svoj osud v jednej z knižiek, ako je i táto. Tieto rozprávky zozbieral škótsky básnik Andrew Lang. Spolu ich bolo vyše 400 a publikoval ich v 12 knihách, ktoré sú známe ako Farebné rozprávkové knihy (The Coloured Fairy Books). O preklad do slovenčiny a spracovanie každej poviedky, aby čo najviacej upútala našich mladších slovenských čitateľov a ich rodičov či starých rodičov, sa postaral Róbert Hodoši. A okrem toho a nakoniec, o plnohodnotný a krajší zážitok z týchto rozprávok sa postaral vynikajúci rozprávkový ilustrátor Branislav Rusnáčik, ktorý vám priblíži dej každej rozprávky svojimi pozoruhodnými kresbami, ktoré vás stiahnu rovno do deja.

In our Fairy Cabinet we have aimed at pleasing children, not 'grown-ups, ' at whom the old French writers directed their romances, but have hunted for fairy tales in all quarters, not in Europe alone. In this volume we open, thanks to Dr. Ignaz Knnos, with a story from the Turks. 'Little King Loc' is an original invention by M. Anatole France, which he very kindly permitted Mrs. Lang to adapt from "L'Abeille." -- from Andrew Lang's Preface to this volume.
