There are a few good fairy tales and these can be found in most collections. However, there are a lot of boring ones. The yellow fairy book contains almost exclusively stories of the “a thing happens and then another thing happens” type. Lots of deus ex machina. I found it tedious and uninteresting to read. I really wanted to like this book, but I didn’t. I stopped reading half way through and I doubt I will pick up any of the other fairy books by Lang...
