The Red True Story Book by Andrew Lang is a large collection of short stories derived from truth and history. Varying in topics, lengths, and cultural origins, The Red True Story Book depicts the stories of real people who endure curious happenings of history. Wilson's Last Fight follows the events leading to the death of a soldier, Major Wilson, in a 19th century battle against English settlers in South Africa and a Zulu tribe. In The Life and Death of Joan the Maid a young, playful girl suffers and unfortunate fate after a group of French children find a gorgeous beech tree, naming it the Fairy Tree, and starting a tradition of dancing and singing around the little tree.
