A classic collection of English Fairy Tales, illustrated in colour by Arthur Rackham.
Klappentext:
Fairy tales are written both to entertain and to educate. Published in the shadow of the First World War, F. A. Steel\'s retellings of forty-one English fairy tales form a classic collection of stories, ranging from the familiar - \'Jack and the Beanstalk\', \'Little Red Riding-Hood\' and \'The Three Little Pigs\' - to the perhaps less well known - \'The Black Bull of Norroway\', \'Nix Nought Nothing\' and \'The Red Ettin\'. Originally published in 1918, it reflects the nationalistic concerns of the period. Steel takes the reader on a journey, from Cornwall to Bamburgh Castle via a palace by the sea, as well as high into the sky, where a giant lives. The magical tales in English Fairy Tales are brought to life by one of the best-known illustrators of the time, Arthur Rackham.
Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector\'s Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector\'s Library are books to love and treasure.
