This volume of the Golden Age of Illustration Series contains Hans
Christian Andersen's 'Thumbelina', first published in May of 1835.
This classic fairy tale has been continuously in print in different
editions since its first publication, with many, many, different
artists illustrating the story over the years. This edition
features a beautiful collection of the best of that art, taken from
the likes of Arthur Rackham, W. Heath Robinson, Harry Clarke, Mabel
Lucie Attwell, Milo Winter, among others. This series of books
celebrates the Golden Age of Illustration. During this period, the
popularity, abundance and - most importantly - the unprecedented
upsurge in the quality of illustrated works marked an astounding
change in the way that publishers, artists and the general public
came to view this hitherto insufficiently esteemed art form. The
Golden Age of Illustration Series, has sourced the rare original
editions of these books and reproduced the beautiful art work in
order to build a unique collection of illustrated fairy tales.
