Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Schutzumschlag. 1. Auflage. First edition, first impression of this finely illustrated volume from the celebrated Oxford Myths and Legends Series. Presenting a selection of traditional Japanese stories retold by Helen and William McAlpine, the book forms part of a distinguished mid-century series that introduced readers to mythic traditions from across the world, and it is particularly notable for the work of Joan Kiddell-Monroe, whose contributions to the series are widely regarded as among the most memorable examples of twentieth-century folk-tale illustration. Kiddell-Monroe, an award-winning and remarkably versatile illustrator, employed a range of techniques - including scraperboard, pen, ink, and wash - to produce images of striking clarity and decorative elegance. Her compositions combine fluid linework with rhythmic patterning, creating scenes that evoke both the narrative drama and the stylized aesthetic associated with Japanese visual culture. The result is a sequence of illustrations that complement the tales' atmosphere of folklore, legend, and transformation while maintaining the artist's distinctive graphic voice. Peppin & Micklethwait, pp. 172-173. Large octavo (22.2 x 14.0 cm). Text in English. Colour frontispiece and numerous illustrations by Kiddell‑Monroe. Publisher's Prussian blue cloth, lightly rubbed at extremities with minor bumps and a few pale marks. Contents lightly foxed in places, illustrations bright. Dust jacket complete and unusually fresh, with slight spine darkening and minimal wear. A very good copy.…

Eight pen and ink drawings published in the 1963 edition of The Heroes on pp. 169, 68, 49, 113, 105, 37, and as the title on the spine of the binding. Subjects includes Hercules, Heracles and Hylas, the Golden Fleece, Medusa, Butes and the Sirens, and Perseus with Andromeda. The published book was part of "Dent's Children's Illustrated Classics" series. Joan Kiddell-Monroe (1908-1972) studied at Willesden and Chelsea Schools of Art. Most of her book illustration work was done after 1940. Her typical subjects were animals, and life and animals in Africa. Her archive is located at the University of Minnesota, which includes six ink and watercolour studies for the present book. Four of the illustrations carry a date of 17 September 1935, and therefore these drawings are from an early part of the artist's career, although published almost three decades later. Pen and ink drawings (65 x 85 mm, 75 x 36 mm, 70 x 77 mm, 86 x 68 mm, 88 x 88 mm, 68 x 133 mm, 58 x 136 mm, and 86 x 142 mm) on individual sections of artist's board. Drawn in ink, all but two signed with initials ("K-M"). Together with a copy of the published book, in dust jacket. Mounted together (430 x 468 mm). Some drawings with gouache corrections: fine and unfaded drawings.…
