The famous stage-designer Ivan Bilibin was a self-taught artist who
was lucky enough to be offered the commission of a lifetime at the
very start of his career. In 1899 the Department for the Production
of State Documents asked this young Russian artist to illustrate a
series of fairy tales, a task that took him four years to complete
and inspired his finest work, reflecting his deep love for his
country and his passionate interest in its national dress and
wooden architecture. This, with ten other traditional tales, make
up the collection for which all Bilibin's original artwork has been
faithfully reproduced. Gillian Avery has provided a retelling of
the texts which admirably complements Bilibin's distinctive
illustration, itself rooted in the stylized forms of Russian folk
and medieval art.
