This collection, Legendary Stories of Wales is written by E. M. Wilkie, and illustrated with the stunning drawings of Honor Appleton. It contains a total of fifty-seven classic Welsh tales, ¿told through the ages¿ ¿ including those inspired by Ancient Greece and Rome, the Celtic past, King Arthur, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dante, George Eliot, and many more. As Wilkie informs his reader¿ ¿many of them are well known¿ some are out-of-the-way tales¿ and a few, probably, have never been written down before.¿ Honor C. Appleton (1879 ¿ 1951), was a master of the trade. During her lifetime, she illustrated over one-hundred-and-fifty books, with her most famous works including Our Nursery Rhyme Book (1912),Charles Perrault¿s Fairy Tales (1919), and the collected Stories of Hans Christian Andersen (1922). As her career progressed, she began producing bolder images for literary classics ¿ Legendary Stories of Wales, being a prime example of this progression. Presented alongside the text, Appleton¿s enchanting creations serve to further refine and enhance E. M. Wilkie¿s folkloric storytelling. Pook Press celebrates the great ¿Golden Age of Illustration¿ in children¿s classics and fairy tales ¿ a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.
