London: Harrap and Co, c1916. Cloth. Good. 10" by 7". Willy Pogany. A scarce poetical version of this much loved children's fairy tale, with many double page colour illustrations by Willy Pogany. William Pogany was a prolific Hungarian illustrator of children's and other books, best known for his pen and ink drawings of myths and fables. A large portion of Pogany's work is described as Art Nouveau and his artistic style was heavily fairy-tale orientated, often featuring motifs of mythical animals such as nymphs and pixie. Pogany was also renowned for his use of dreamy and warm pastel scenes with watercolors, and oil paintings. In a quarter cloth binding with paper covered boards and a colour inlay to the front board. In a quarter cloth binding. Externally generally smart. Minor wear to extremities. Bumping to head and tail of spine. Tide mark to upper extremity of front board. Internally firmly bound.
