About this Item
First edition. 8vo. Inscribed by Arthur Rackham with an original drawing of a pixie holding a book, "To Mrs Goodheart, with kind regards, from Arthur Rackham, 6.12.16." Blue cloth with gilt titles on the spine and gilt vignettes of winged goblins on the upper cover. A very good copy, a little dulled to the spine with some light foxing. Endpapers decorated with line drawings. Twelve colour plates and a host of line drawings in the text. This book consists of a collection of fairy tales from each of the Allied nations, including English (Jack the Giant Killer), French (Sleeping Beauty); Russian (Frost); Italian (Cesarino and the Dragon), Serbian (The Golden Appletree) and Japanese (The Foxes Wedding). Although Rackham illustrated another version of the Sleeping Beauty this interpretation is quite different. Seller Inventory # 43284
