The stories in this particular text encompass favourites such as Perrault's 'Puss in Boots' and 'Riquet with the Tuft' as well as other less well-known classics such as D'Aulnoy's 'The Green Dragon', 'Princess Rosetta' and 'The Blue Bird' and Count Antony Hamilton's dazzling 'Mayblossom'. This edition of 'A Fairy Garland' further contains a set of dazzling coloured illustrations by a true master of the 'Golden Age'; Edmund Dulac (1882 - 1953). A French artist himself, Dulac had a particular affinity with these Old French tales as well as a rigorously painterly background. The end result was beautifully coloured images which further refined the wonderful stories of Perrault, D'Aulnoy and Hamilton - all presented together in this book. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's literature - 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.
