The Etsy shop I purchase many tiny books from: LeafprinterBooks
So I’ve shared that I’m a #BookCollector & that I have my regular #Library, #LittleLibrary, & #TinyLibrary
When I can’t afford the #RareAntiqueBooks, like in the case of the #Fairy books by #AndrewLang, I obsess & look for little versions.
Well, I found the orange and blue fairy books!

In the forest all is gay When my Princess walks that way. All the blossoms then are found Downward fluttering to the ground, Hoping she may tread on them. And bright flowers in slender stem Gaze up at her as she passes Brushing lightly through the grasses, Oh! My Princess, birds above Echo back our Songs of Love, As through this enchanted land Blithe we wander, hand in hand.
From Andrew Lang's "The Blue Fairy Book"
Bellissima's Song
The story this comes from is called "The Yellow Dwarf", which eventually was modified over time to become Rumplestilskein.
