Arthur Rackham Books Treasury/Fairies

Synopsis

This is a book set (shrink wrapped) containing: "Arthur Rackham Treasury" and "Rackhams Fairy Tale Illustrations". "Arthur Rackham Treasury": Magnificently reprinted from more than 25 rare early editions, these 86 illustrations include many plates that have not been reproduced in decades. They span Rackham's career - his landmark 1905 edition of "Rip Van Winkle" to masterworks such as "Undine" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and his final publication, "Wind in the Willows", in 1939. "Rackhams Fairy Tale Illustrations": This superb collection of 55 lovely plates, reproduced from rare, early editions, includes a rich selection of fairy tale images by one of England's leading illustrators of the early 20th century. It also includes scenes from "Irish Fairy Tales", "English Fairy Tales", "Hansel and Gretel", "Snowdrop and Other Tales", "Little Brother & Little Sister", and more.
