From the publisher:
In The Lilac Fairy Book, a large number of the tales - including a variation on the beauty and the beast story called "Brown Bear of Norway" - are from Irish sources; the Welsh "Mabinogion" provided the Arthurian legend of "The Winning of Olwen"; and other tales are from the more exotic traditions of India, Portugal, Brittany, and Scandinavia.
