Description
1916 1ed Allies Fairy Book Arthur Rackham ART Sleeping Beauty Jack the Giant Killer



“The Allies Fairy Book” is a collection of traditional fairy tales from World War One participants, compiled and edited by Edmund Gosse in 1916. The book features a diverse selection of stories, including English, Scotch, Welsh, Irish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Serbian, and Belgian tales, notably “Sleeping Beauty” and “Jack the Giant Killer.”



However, the true charm of the book lies in Arthur Rackhams enchanting illustrations that elevate the stories to a whole new level. Rackham, a celebrated painter of the British Golden Age of Illustration, blends haunting humor with dream-like romance, creating a unique artistic style that perfectly complements Gosses anthology. The combination of these captivating tales and Rackhams incredible illustrations makes this book a true treasure.
