Opis

This book forms part of our Pook Press imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in childrens literature. Edited by Amy Steedman it contains a collection of works including Charles Perraults Cinderella, Puss in Boots and Sleeping Beauty, the Brothers Grimms Little Red Riding Hood, Joseph Jacobs Three Little Pigs and Old English tales such as Jack and the Beanstalk and Tom Thumb. This book further comprises a series of dazzling illustrations by Paul Vincent Woodroofe (1875-1954). He was a much celebrated book illustrator as well as a prolific stained glass artist who studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in Bloomsbury, London. Part of the true British golden age, Woodroffes artistry still delights both young and old over a century later. The fairy tales are presented here in their original translations, alongside beautiful colour images.
