English Fairy Tales

This edition features the best tales from England from the legendary collection of 19th-century British folklorist Joseph Jacobs, whose work, like that of the Brothers Grimm, was highly esteemed not only in his homeland but also far beyond, the magical... stories of the famous writer Rudyard Kipling, as well as truly unique works that have not been reprinted for many years. The heroes of these tales are simple eccentrics and unfortunate giants, kind-hearted girls and ubiquitous elves, noble knights and cunning monsters — they amaze and captivate readers, and the stories themselves, which inspired many writers, combine fascinating plots and the unique English flavor. The tales are illustrated by the works of outstanding masters of book graphics from Britain in the 19th-20th centuries - Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, Herbert Cole, Warwick Goble, Randolph Caldecott, Leonard Leslie Brooke, - as well as works by artists from America and Europe.
