This book forms part of our 'Pook Press' imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in children's literature. This work contains a collection of stories, written by Charles Perrault, Madame D'Aulnoy and Count Anthony Hamilton. These individuals were among the first writers to bring magical children's stories into the literary mainstream, proving to their original seventeenth century readers that such works were important, enjoyable, as well as thought-provoking. 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 book further contains a set of coloured illustrations by the master of his trade, 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. | A Fairy Garland - Being Fairy Tales from the Old French - Illustrated by Edmund Dulac by Various, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
