THE BROWN FAIRY BOOK Edited by Andrew Lang Dedicated to Diana Scott Lang Preface The stories in this Fairy Book come from all quarters of the world.

For example, the adventures of “Ball-Carrier and the Bad One” are told by Red Indian grandmothers to Red Indian children who never go to school, nor see pen and ink.

“The Bunyip” is known to even more uneducated little ones, running about with no clothes at all in the bush, in Australia.
