First edition of this collection Rackham's favorite illustrations, compiled by him. Quarto, bound in full morocco, illustrated by Arthur Rackham with 44 tipped-in color plates with captioned tissue guards and numerous black and white illustrations. One of the leading literary figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration, Arthur Rackham's work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolor, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator. "Arthur Rackhamâ s fanciful imagination gave his illustrations instant recognition, and his dedication to illustration kept him in the public eye for 30 years" (Hodnett, 233).
