Summary: Mini prints of Rackham's Fairy Tale Illustrations
Comment: This slim book presents 55 of Arthur Rackham's fairy tale illustrations from several of his books. The illustrations are reproduced on high quality paper. Almost every image is at least 5x7 or 6x8 inches in size and suitable for framing. While I don't usually recommend deconstructing books for their illustrations, this book is well-suited for the purpose and preferable to taking apart an older book for its plates. No fairy tales are presented, just the illustrations with their titles and sources. If you are a Rackham fan, buy one copy to take apart for framing and another one to keep on your bookshelf. Most of these illustrations are not available in any size for art prints. Many of the illustrations are not available in print in any other source at this time except for the original antique books in which they appeared.

Summary: The true nature of the tales
Comment: when i ordered Rackham's books, I was taken a childrens lit class and was surprised to see the Grimm nature of stories for children. The very detailed and dark paintings help to show this and also harken one's mind into a world of fantasy and magic-a crucial element in any children's work. Enjoyed it and his rendetion of Wagner's ring, although it lacks (by nature of the Operas tragic tale) the vigour and innocence of fairy tales and insted enters the relem of Epic.

Summary: A very highly recommended pick for all ages
Comment: Fans of Arthur Rackham's style of drawing from turn-of-the-century fairy tales will find Fairy Tale Illustrations In Full Color an especially appealing collection reproducing over fifty of his fantastical drawings from rare early plates. Packed with appeal from cover to cover, Fairy Tale Illustrations In Full Color is a very highly recommended pick for all ages.
