Combining a sensitive use of line and subdued watercolors, he skillfully depicted forests of startling trees with claw-like roots, wholesome fairy maidens, monsters, and demons, and backgrounds filled with obscure figures. His inspired illustrations for the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm (1900) brought him his first great success, with a long and distinguished career to follow.\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of 55 full-color plates, reproduced from rare early editions, contains a rich selection of Rackham's best fairy tale images: a giant terrorizing the inhabitants of an isolated village in \u003ci\u003eEnglish Fairy Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, a wicked witch greeting two lost children on her doorstep in \u003ci\u003eHansel and Gretel\u003c\/i\u003e, a young maiden beset by snarling wolves in \u003ci\u003eIrish Fairy Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, and many more, including illustrations from \u003ci\u003eSnowdrop and Other Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLittle Brother and Little Sister\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Allies' Fairy Book\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA leading figure in the early 20th century's Golden Age of Illustration, English artist Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) brought countless stories and fairy tales to life through his vivid imagination and eye for telling details.
