I am looking for a children’s book I read in the late 70s or early 80s that was about fairies and giants and other mystical creatures. It was huge (to a 6 year old!), 13 to 15 inches in height & hundreds of pages printed on very thin tissue-like paper that was pastel multi-coloured, in sections. A pink section, then a yellow section, then a pale green section, etc. I believe the coloured sections coordinated with the sections of the book which i think were divided into “stories about giants”, “stories about fairies”. It may have had “A Great Big Book….” or “The Big Book of….” in the title. It was large print with pictures here and there.
Thank you!!
I’m guessing that it might have been a one-volume compilation of Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books — The Red Fairy Book, The Green Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, etc.
No but thank you! Not sure why I just remembered this query after 5 years but I am still trying to find this darn book lol.
