HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'The wolf thought to himself, "What a tender
young creature! what a nice plump mouthful - she will be better to
eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both."'
Collected by the German Grimm brothers, these folk tales have
captured the imaginations of children and adults alike since they
were first published in 1812. The best-known stories such as The
Golden Goose, Hansel and Gretel, The Frog Prince, and Snow-White
and Rose-Red remain as popular today as when first told, although
there is an underlying darkness and violence to the original
stories that has softened over time.
This book was originally published in 1909 and contains a
collection of classic fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm wonderfully
illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Tales include Briar Rose, The Elves

Golden Age of Illustration in children's literature. We 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.

From "Dummling and the Three Feathers": Once upon a time there
lived a King who had three sons; the two elder were learned and
bright, but the youngest said very little and appeared somewhat
foolish, so he was always known as Dummling. When the King grew old
and feeble, feeling that he was nearing his end, he wished to leave
the crown to one of his three sons, but could not decide to which.
He thereupon settled that they should travel, and that the one who
could obtain the most splendid carpet should ascend the throne when
he died. So that there could be no disagreement as to the way each
one should go, the King conducted them to the courtyard of the
Palace, and there blew three feathers, by turn, into the air,
telling his sons to follow the course that the three feathers took.
Then one of the feathers flew eastwards, another westwards, but the
third went straight up towards the sky, though it only sped a short
distance before falling to earth.
The Grimm brother's famous anthology of fairy tales is here
accompanied by Anderson's beautiful illustrations. Delicate black
and white text drawings and full page colour plates are full of
emotion and charm. About the Illustrator: Anne Anderson
(1874-c.1940) was a Scottish illustrator chiefly noted for her Art
Nouveau children's book illustrations that display fluidity typical
of the movement. Characteristic of her work are decorative and
lightly drawn or painted illustrations of neatly dressed children,
neatly dressed with pear-shaped faces. Anderson's work has been
compared to that of Jessie M. King, a contemporary. 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. 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

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.
