Infos

'A Fairy Garland - Being Fairy Tales from the Old French' 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 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.
