ndian Fairy Tales is part of a series written by the Australian
born folklorist Joseph Jacobs. In this book feature 30 stories
taken from popular South Asian oral history united with John D.
Batten's black and white drawings, full of movement and energy.
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 editions, using the
original text and artwork so these works can delight another
generation of children. John Dickson Batten (1860-1932) was a
British painter, illustrator and print maker who was a leading
light in the Art Nouveau movement. He illustrated a series of fairy
tale books written by Joseph Jacobs as well as English language
versions of Arabian Nights and Dante's Inferno. His illustrations
are strongly influenced by the printmakers of Japan and are
characterised by an intense romanticism and refined technique.
