This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fairy Book – The Best Popular Fairy Stories was originally published in 1913. It is a collection of classic children’s tales, compiled and edited by Dinah Craik, and illustrated by Warwick Goble. In the words of the author, it is intended as ‘the best collection attainable of that delight of all children, and of many grown people who retain the child-heart still – the old-fashioned, time-honoured classic Fairy Tale. It includes the narratives of ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Tom Thumb’, ‘Rumpelstiltskin’, ‘Snow White’, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and many more. Warwick Goble (1862 – 1943) was an illustrator of children’s books, who specialised in Japanese and Indian themes. The son of a commercial traveller, he was educated at the Westminster School of art, and specialised in chromolithographic printing. His work is delicate in its colouring, and masterful in its presentation of line and form. Some of Goble’s best known works include illustrations for Charles Kingsley’s The Water Babies, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, and H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preface is usually an excrescence on a good book, and a vain apologyfor a worthless one; but, in the present instance, a few explanatorywords seem necessary.This is meant to be the best collection attainable of that delight ofall children, and of many grown people who retain the child-heartstill--the old-fashioned, time-honored classic Fairy-tale. It has beencompiled from all sources--far-off and familiar; when familiar, thestories have been traced with care to their original form, which, ifforeign, has been retranslated, condensed, and in any other needfulway made suitable for modern British children. Perrault, Madamed'Aulnois, and Grimm have thus been laid under contribution. Where itwas not possible to get at the original of a tale, its variousversions have been collated, compared, and combined; and in someinstances, when this proved still unsatisfactory, the whole story hasbeen written afresh. The few English fairy tales extant, such as _Jackthe Giant Killer, Tom Thumb_, etc., whose authorship is lost inobscurity, but whose charming Saxon simplicity of style, and intenserealism of narration, make for them an ever-green immortality--thesehave been left intact, for no later touch would improve them. Allmodern stories have been excluded.Of course, in fairy tales, instruction is not expected; we find inthem only the rude moral of virtue rewarded and vice punished. Butchildren will soon discover for themselves that in real life allbeautiful people are not good, nor all ugly ones wicked; that everyelder sister is not ungenerous, nor every stepmother cruel. And thetender baby-heart is often reached quite as soon by the fancy as bythe reason. Nevertheless, without any direct appeal to conscience ormorality, the Editor of this collection has been especially carefulthat there should be nothing in it which could really harm a child.She trusts that, whatever its defects, the Fairy Book will not deserveone criticism, almost the sharpest that can be given to anywork--"that it would have been better if the author had taken morepains."
