    About this audiobook

    Once upon a time in a usual morning the king of a far country went for a walk in his own garden. Soon after he returned to his throne listen to envoy's message. But the envoy said nothing - he just advanced to the throne where the king was awaiting him, and stooping down, traced on the floor with a rod which he held in his hand a black circle. The king and his courtiers were equally mystified, but the envoy was calm. After that, the king called all ministers to solve this problem. Nobody had a good idea, and the king said:"Unless before sunset you could find someone capable of solving the mystery, I would hang you all!" Can anybody solve this mystery?

    Andrew Lang

    Andrew Lang (March, 31, 1844 – July 20, 1912) was a Scottish writer and literary critic who is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang’s academic interests extended beyond the literary and he was a noted contributor to the fields of anthropology, folklore, psychical research, history, and classic scholarship, as well as the inspiration for the University of St. Andrew’s Andrew Lang Lectures. A prolific author, Lang published more than 100 works during his career, including twelve fairy books, in which he compiled folk and fairy tales from around the world. Lang’s Lilac Fairy and Red Fairy books are credited with influencing J. R. R. Tolkien, who commented on the importance of fairy stories in the modern world in his 1939 Andrew Lang Lecture “On Fairy-Stories.”
