Thierry Alberto, Chris Curnow, Julia Miller and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Red Romance Book" by Andrew Lang is a collection of adapted fairy tales and romances likely written in the early 20th century. The book provides a curated selection of stories that draw from traditional tales, focusing on themes of chivalry, love, and adventure, featuring characters such as knights, princesses, and mythical creatures. The opening of the work introduces the concept of romances as a category of storytelling, likening them to fairy tales for adults, and suggesting that these narratives, filled with knights, enchanted beings, and epic quests, reflect a historical longing for adventure and valor. Andrew Lang's preface sets the stage by discussing the nature of these stories, featuring a charming anecdote about a boy struggling with a tedious book, underscoring the importance of engaging storytelling. The beginning also mentions specific tales, starting with the adventures of Prince William, who is kidnapped by a werwolf, establishing an engaging narrative that intertwines fantasy with moral lessons about bravery and wisdom.
