The master of pen and brush blends the real and the fantastic to create a striking world of make-believe. Here is Arthur Rackham at his most charming and, slightly macabre, best. From Rackham foreword: There are many more Nursery Rhymes than included in this book, though I think most of the best known are here. I have chosen those I knew and liked best in my own nursery days, and have kept to versions I was familiar with. Nursery rhymes have until recently been handed on by oral tradition with inevitable variations and most we knew came from our elders. However altered, children do not seem to be confused by them and make their own choice and go on inventing variations. Index of first lines at back. Manufactured in the United States of America. 238 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
