What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
The first edition of this work.
A charming volume of fairy tales for children by Edmund Dulac, including 'The Story of the Bird Feny', 'The Little Seamstress', 'Cinderella', 'Cerberus, the Black Dog of Hades,' 'The Lady Badoura', and more.
Published for the French Red Cross during the First World War, to whom the profits from sales of the work were donated.

Collated, complete.
Dulac is a well regarded illustrator of magazines and books, known in particular for his editions of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, and 'The Rubaiyat'. His style is mostly Art Nouveau, and his illustrations of fairy tales have remained very popular.
