Muller’s Fairy Tales – A Complete Illustrated Bibliography

Welcome to my illustrated bibliography of all of the books in Frederick Muller’s Folk & Fairy Tales series (also known as the World Fairy Tales Collection). These books were published between the late 1950s to the early 1970s – mostly by Frederick Muller, but several were also published by Follett. The books contain some lovely tales from countries all around the world, and all the ones I have read have been of a high standard.

Different countries are covered by different authors, and the black and white (no colour) illustrations are by a variety of different illustrators, but all are quality and it’s a lovely set to include in a world folklore collection.

If you’re looking to collect some or all the books in this series, they can easily be collected separately, because the dust jacket for each book is often illustrated in the style of the regional tales being told, so the books don’t necessarily look like a series. There are also several books created towards the end of the series which contain representative tales from many countries if you are interested in reading a sampler of stories. *Titles I haven’t sighted to confirm as part of the series are marked with an asterisk.
