Far from fading with time, Kenneth Grahame's classic tale of
fantasy has attracted a growing audience in each generation. Rat,
Mole, Badger and the preposterous Mr Toad (with his
'Poop-poop-poop' road-hogging new motor-car), have brought delight
to many through the years with their odd adventures on and by the
river, and at the imposing residence of Toad Hall. Grahame's book
was later dramatised by A. A. Milne, and became a perennial
Christmas favourite, as Toad of Toad Hall. It continues to enchant
and, above all perhaps, inspire great affection.

Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and his brother Wilhelm (1786-1859) were
philologists and folklorists. The brothers rediscovered a host of
fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles,
witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of
fabulous animals and dark deeds. Together with the well-known tales
of Rapunzel, The Goose-Girl, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and
Snow White, there are the darker tales such as Death's Messengers
which deserve to be better known, and which will appeal not only to
all who are interested in the history of folklore, but also to all
those who simply love good story-telling.

A collection of charming and enduring stories that convey morals to
young and old alike. Aesop was a slave and storyteller who lived in
ancient Greece around 620-564 BC. No writings by him exist (if they
ever existed at all), yet numerous stories and tales have been
credited to him and have been shared through oral tradition
throughout the world. Many of these use animals as the main
characters to convey deeper meanings and morals that have become
ingrained in our cultural--and personal--belief systems. For
example, in "The Goatherd and the Goat" we learn that there is no
use trying to hide what can't be hidden. In "The Ass and the
Purchaser" we find that people are known by the company they keep.
In "The Boys and the Frogs," one person's pleasure may be another
person's pain. "The Dogs and the Fox" show how easy it is to kick a
man when he's down. And misery loves company, as we see in "The Fox
Without a Tail." * This beautiful book comes with luxurious
endpapers, a beautiful and stylish heat-burnished cover, and a
convenient 5 x 7 size. * The widely popular collection of stories
has sold millions of copies and has been translated into countless
languages and dialects. Aesop's Fables have been one of the world's
most charming collections of stories that have influenced thousands
of other literary works. About the Word Cloud Classics series:

for both old and new literature fans, the Word Cloud Classics
series from Canterbury Classics provides a chic and inexpensive

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be
able to do it." -J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan Join Peter, Wendy, Tinker
Bell, and a cast of other familiar characters on a fantastical
journey in the Word Cloud Classics' Peter Pan. Included in this

who never grew up" and his adventures in Neverland, as well as a
lesser-known prequel entitled Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
(1906), which tells the story of Pan's early years in London. This
lively volume weaves a tale that is universally relatable and
wildly popular for adults and children alike.
This stunning treasury features full-page plates of the finest
works by the famed English artist, Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). A

memorable images, which combine whimsy, romance, and
sophistication, continue to enchant children and adults
alike.
Magnificently reprinted from more than 25 rare early editions,
these 86 illustrations were selected from hundreds of possibilities
and include many plates that have not been reproduced in decades.
They span Rackham's career -- from his landmark 1905 edition of
"Rip Van Winkle" to masterworks such as "Undine" and "A Midsummer
Night's Dream" and his final publication, "Wind in the Willows, "
in 1939. Art lovers, book collectors, and anyone with an
appreciation for imaginative visual storytelling will prize this
marvelous treasury.

This magical hardcover edition is drawn from the mammoth collection
first published in 1909 and illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Forty
full-color plates, plus innumerable black-and-white spot elements,
retain the best features of the original.
The most popular of all ghost stories was first published on 17
December 1843, and by Christmas Eve 6, 000 copies had been sold at
a published price of five shillings. The story of Scrooge, a miser
who becomes a different man when he is presented with visions of
past, present and future by Marley's ghost, was an immediate
success and has remainded so ever since. It is a book to read on
Christmas Eve beside a blazing fire - and the best introduction to
Dickens for young readers not quite ready for his longer novels.
Arthur Rackham, master of the fantastic, illustrated the story in
1915.
Through simple text and silhouette illustrations, "Sleeping Beauty"
relates the classic tale of the consequences when, disgruntled at
not being invited to the princess's christening, a wicked fairy
casts a spell that dooms the princess to sleep for a hundred years.
Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in
children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books,
particularly those dating back to the 1850s 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. 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. Throughout his career he had developed a very
individual style that is 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.
Aesop's celebrated collection of fables has always been popular
with both adults and children. These simple tales embody truths so
powerful, the titles of the individual fables - the fox and the
grapes, the dog in the manger, the wolf in sheep's clothing and
many others - have entered the languages and idioms of most
European tongues. This edition is beautifully illustrated in black
and white by the great Arthur Rackham, and has an introduction by
G.K. Chesterton.
