Comprised of thirty-three short works of fiction, The Orange Fairy Book explores the folklore and traditions of many origins, including European, Scottish, Scandanavian, and African descent. Depicting tales of magic, anthropomorphic animals, and men made of mountains, The Orange Fairy Book offers diverse representation. In Two Caskets a young maiden must endure abuse and ridicule from her stepmother and sister after the death of her father. When an Indian king meets a holy man in Story of the King Who Would See Paradise, the king becomes very transfixed with the idea of seeing Paradise, and makes a deal with the holy man, offering protection and favor in exchange for being granted a peak into Paradise. Portraying a series of unfortunate curses, Girl Fish is an obscure tale following a young girl as she encounters many magical changes that transform her into different animals. Featuring fairytales both familiar and rare,
