Description

A treasure of the original Lang Fairy Books are the beautiful and meticulous Victorian illustrations, both as black and white engravings and as color plates. Interior illustrations are not well produced. In some Kindle editions, the interior illustrations have been colorized, which detracts from their original beauty. Generally, I find in all editions reviewed, Kindle has treated the original Lang illustrations as an afterthought, sometimes excluding them, inserting them out of sequence, and printing them poorly or in very small size. Some have even been inserted sideways. Sloppy reproductions of this type are an insult to the quality of a classic series and an insult to the reader. I hope for a future Kindle edition of all the Lang fairy tales that does the original illustrations justice.
