Hansel ; Grethel - ; Other Tales By The Brothers Grimm

Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was one of the premier illustrators of the early 20th Century.

He illustrated many books, the first of which was published in 1893.

Throughout his career he had developed a very individual style that is was to influence a whole generation of children, artists and other illustrators.

His haunting humour and dreamlike romance adds to the enchantment and fantasy of children's literature.

This book 'Hansel ; Grethel ; Other Tales' contains the stories written by the Grimm Brothers along with Rackham's imaginative, obscure and beautiful illustrations.

Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
