Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a Scottish writer, literary critic, and anthropologist best known for his series of fairy tale collections, the "Coloured Fairy Books". Beginning with "The Blue Fairy Book" in 1889, Lang compiled and edited traditional folk tales and fairy stories from around the world, organizing them into twelve color-themed volumes. His work made classic stories accessible to English-speaking children and preserved many traditional tales for future generations.

A princess burns a secret snakeskin too soon—and her husband vanishes. With three magic nuts and iron shoes, she chases him across kingdoms and outwits a false bride to win him back.

Twelve princes vanish under a strange curse. Their brave sister vows seven silent years, faces cruel lies, and risks everything to save them. Can loyalty break the spell in time?
