was a Danish illustrator of the golden age of illustration. He was
influenced by Japanese art and the Swedish fairy tale illustrator
John Bauer and contributed to the Art Nouveau movement. His
illustrations are bold, and vibrant - often reproduced by a
4-colour process which set him apart from his contemporaries who
typically used a 3-colour process. His art is characterised by
long, swooping lines, open spaces and a certain macabre quality and
his ephemeral illustrations are intricately inventive, flirting
with implausibility. The shift in taste from fantasy to realism
after WWII meant that Nielsen did not retain his pre-war
popularity. However, interest in his exquisite illustrations has
since been revived, and they now command a high price in today's
art world.

Once upon a time, two brothers wished to preserve their German
folklore in a collection of tales that they believed had been
handed down for generations. When they began in 1812 they had just
86 stories that rather harshly reflected the difficult life of
European peasantry. Subsequent editions would grow to hold over 200
tales. As time passed, the Brothers Grimm found that their
collection of fairy tales, with all of its royalty, magical
creatures, and brave adventures, entranced those who read them.
This compilation of fairy tales which includes the complete canon
of over 200 tales has become a beloved set of classical stories the
world over. Presented here in this edition is the faithful
translation of Margaret Hunt.
