Andrew Lang was a prolific Scottish scholar, folklorist, anthropologist, historian, and classic children's author. He is best known for his popular 12 volume fairy books. His work "represents the first maturing of a scientific interest in the folk narrative as a means of discovering the nature of primeval man and the details of his unrecorded history."
