This book 'Hansel & Gretel & 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. About the Authors: Jacob (1875-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm
(1786-1859) were academics who spent years researching and
documenting folk tales. They are arguably best known for their
collection Children's and Household Tales published in 1812, which
later became known as Grimm's Fairy Tales, and contained some of
today's most celebrated fairy stories, such as Cinderella,
Rumpelstiltskin and Hansel and Gretel. About the Illustrator:
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. His humour, romance and soul made him
the leading illustrator of the early twentieth century and his work
is to be found in versions of almost every classic from Hansel and
Gretel to The Tempest, from The Pied Piper to Peer Gynt.
Characteristic of his work are gloomy forests of sinuous trees,
nubile fairy maidens, and unsightly ogres and trolls. Throughout
his career he developed a very individual style that 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.
