I'm looking for a set of fairy tale books.?

There are 5 or possibly 6 volumes of fairy tales in the set. The 5th or 6th book contains Aesop's Fables. Some of the are:



Felicia and the Pot of Pinks (or Felicia and the Pretty Pinks)

Rumpelstiltzkin

Snow-White and Rose-Red

The Goose-Girl

Little Wildrose

The Golden Mermaid

The Enchanted Wreath

The Twelve Dancing Princesses

The Princess Mayblossom

Fairer-than-a-Fairy

The Flower Queen's Daughter

Dorani



There were of course the popular traditional fairy tales but these were the ones that stood out more to me because they were my favorites



I don't think they are books by Andrew Lang. I reember the books having black and white illustrations. They were all hard cover books.

These all seem to be stories contained in one or more of the Andrew Lang books-- the "Coloured Fairy" books. They would have had the black-and-white illustrations too.

Perhaps you found a hardcover reprint of the originals. In any case, if these stories are all in the Lang books, maybe you might just try to collect those again. They're fun to find, and you may discover more old favourites that you'd forgotten!
Reply:i agree with person above me.

all i can say is

'felicia and the pot of pinks' and 'goose girl' are both in 'the blue fairy book'

have fun!
