Each book is attractively illustrated with full page and partial
page pen and ink drawings in a classic Art Nouveau style by leading
artists of the era. This title, Jack the Giant-Killer and Beauty
& the Beast is accompanied by the sophisticated black and white
open line work of Bell. His drawings perfectly convey the
wickedness of the giant and the gentleness and compassion of
Beauty. About the Illustrator: Robert Anning Bell (1863 - 1933) was
an English artist and painter. He and a group of fellow
artist-craftsmen brought about the last bloom of the Pre-Raphaelite
movement. As well as painting in oil and watercolour, he also
worked in stained glass and mosaic. Bell's illustrations are close
in style to his contemporary Charles Ricketts. Many of the earliest
children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook
