This classic edition is charmingly illustrated with 48 colour plates by Edwardian artist, Margaret Tarrant, regarded as one of the finest illustrators of children’s books.

Tarrant’s artistic style is heavily fairy-tale orientated and often features motifs of mythical animals and beings. Her soft dreamy illustrations are exemplified in this volume and portray the extent of her talent.
