Opis

This book forms part of our Pook Press imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in childrens literature. Edited by Harry Golding, it contains thirty colour plates and eighteen other illustrations, all by Margaret Tarrant. The tales include classics such as Perraults Puss in Boots, Blue Beard and Cinderella as well as the Brothers Grimms Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty. Mme. DAulnoys archetypal Goldilocks and the Three Bears appears beside Old English stories such as Jack, the Giant Killer and Dick Whittington. The stories are here accompanied by the dazzling colour illustrations of Margaret Tarrant (1888-1959). She was a much celebrated English illustrator who specialised in depictions of fairy-like children and religious subjects; a pioneering woman in the male-dominated world of fine-art. The fairy tales are presented here in their original translations, alongside Tarrants beautiful images.
