Описание: 'Fairies I Have Met' is a collection of fairy tales, originally penned by Mrs Rodolph Stawell, accompanied by Edmund Dulac's splendid colour illustrations. It was written for a little girl named Penelope, 'so that she may love the fairies, and keep the sunbeam always in her heart.' In a like manner, it is a text which is sure to delight all its readers - both young and old alike. It includes the stories 'The Cloud that had no Lining', 'The Big Spider's Diamonds', 'A Little Girl in a Book', 'The Box of Dreams', 'The Fairy Who had only one Wing', and many more. This book contains a set of dazzling illustrations by a true master of the 'Golden Age'; Edmund Dulac (1882 - 1953). A talented French-born, British naturalised illustrator and designer, Dulac had a particular affinity for the fairy tale. This love, as well as possessing a rigorously painterly background, produced some truly stunning images. Appearing alongside the text, his delicate illustrations further enhance and elucidate Mrs Stawell's enchanting narratives. 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.
