Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book.

During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline.

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline.

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book.

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book.

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book.

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations for Tanglewood Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne. First edition, published by The Penn Publishing Company, 1921. With ten wonderful color plates done by Virginia Frances Sterrett, her second illustrated book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[justified_image_grid caption=off ng_gallery=207]\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K<\/a><\/strong>ay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham<\/a> and Edmund Dulac<\/a> in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kay Nielsen's first illustrated book, In Powder and Crinoline<\/a> was published in 1913. He went on to illustrate East of the Sun, West of the Moon<\/a> (1914), Andersen's Fairy Tales<\/a> (1924), Hansel and Gretel<\/a> (1925) and Red Magic (1930). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Magic, first published in 1930 by Jonathan Cape is a collection of the world's best fairy tales from all countries. Editing and arranged by Romer Wilson. This is Kay Nielsen's rarest book and sadly his last illustrated book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K<\/a><\/strong>ay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham<\/a> and Edmund Dulac<\/a> in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kay Nielsen's first illustrated book, In Powder and Crinoline<\/a> was published in 1913. He went on to illustrate East of the Sun, West of the Moon<\/a> (1914), Andersen's Fairy Tales<\/a> (1924), Hansel and Gretel<\/a> (1925) and Red Magic (1930). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Magic, first published in 1930 by Jonathan Cape is a collection of the world's best fairy tales from all countries. Editing and arranged by Romer Wilson. This is Kay Nielsen's rarest book and sadly his last illustrated book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria<\/strong><\/em> by John Ruskin<\/a> was originally written in 1841 for the twelve-year-old Effie (Euphemia) Gray, whom Ruskin later married. It was published in book form in 1851, and became an early Victorian classic which sold out three editions. In the \"Advertisement to the First Edition\", which prefaces it, it is called a fairy tale, one, it might be added, that illustrates the triumph of love, kindness, and goodness over evil; however, it could also be characterised as a fable, a fabricated origin myth and a parable. It was illustrated with 22 illustrations by Richard Doyle<\/a> (1824\u201383). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria<\/strong><\/em> by John Ruskin<\/a> was originally written in 1841 for the twelve-year-old Effie (Euphemia) Gray, whom Ruskin later married. It was published in book form in 1851, and became an early Victorian classic which sold out three editions. In the \"Advertisement to the First Edition\", which prefaces it, it is called a fairy tale, one, it might be added, that illustrates the triumph of love, kindness, and goodness over evil; however, it could also be characterised as a fable, a fabricated origin myth and a parable. It was illustrated with 22 illustrations by Richard Doyle<\/a> (1824\u201383). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K<\/a><\/strong>ay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham<\/a> and Edmund Dulac<\/a> in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century.

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria<\/strong><\/em> by John Ruskin<\/a> was originally written in 1841 for the twelve-year-old Effie (Euphemia) Gray, whom Ruskin later married. It was published in book form in 1851, and became an early Victorian classic which sold out three editions. In the \"Advertisement to the First Edition\", which prefaces it, it is called a fairy tale, one, it might be added, that illustrates the triumph of love, kindness, and goodness over evil; however, it could also be characterised as a fable, a fabricated origin myth and a parable. It was illustrated with 22 illustrations by Richard Doyle<\/a> (1824\u201383). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K<\/a><\/strong>ay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham<\/a> and Edmund Dulac<\/a> in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kay Nielsen's first illustrated book, In Powder and Crinoline<\/a> was published in 1913. He went on to illustrate East of the Sun, West of the Moon<\/a> (1914), Andersen's Fairy Tales<\/a> (1924), Hansel and Gretel<\/a> (1925) and Red Magic (1930). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K<\/a><\/strong>ay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham<\/a> and Edmund Dulac<\/a> in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century.

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best-known and most popular works of English-language fiction, its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. The work has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 97 languages. Its ongoing legacy encompasses many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, art, ballet, theme parks, board games and video games. Carroll published a sequel in 1871, titled Through the Looking-Glass<\/em>, and a shortened version for young children, The Nursery \"Alice\"<\/em>, in 1890.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Illustrators of the Alice books<\/strong>, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass<\/em> (1871), number more than 100. The focus here is on English-language editions. Many other artists have created illustrations for non-English language editions. The illustrator for the original editions was John Tenniel<\/a>, whose illustrations for Alice and Looking Glass are perhaps the best known illustrations ever published. This article is an ongoing attempt to list all major illustrators of the Alice books from 1899 to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[ninja_tables id=\"78612\"]\n\n\n\n

The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria<\/strong><\/em> by John Ruskin<\/a> was originally written in 1841 for the twelve-year-old Effie (Euphemia) Gray, whom Ruskin later married. It was published in book form in 1851, and became an early Victorian classic which sold out three editions. In the \"Advertisement to the First Edition\", which prefaces it, it is called a fairy tale, one, it might be added, that illustrates the triumph of love, kindness, and goodness over evil; however, it could also be characterised as a fable, a fabricated origin myth and a parable. It was illustrated with 22 illustrations by Richard Doyle<\/a> (1824\u201383). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home.

Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book.

The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria<\/strong><\/em> by John Ruskin<\/a> was originally written in 1841 for the twelve-year-old Effie (Euphemia) Gray, whom Ruskin later married.

In the \"Advertisement to the First Edition\", which prefaces it, it is called a fairy tale, one, it might be added, that illustrates the triumph of love, kindness, and goodness over evil; however, it could also be characterised as a fable, a fabricated origin myth and a parable.

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K<\/a><\/strong>ay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham<\/a> and Edmund Dulac<\/a> in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book.

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em> (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em>) is an 1865 novel by English author Lewis Carroll<\/a> (the pseudonym of Charles Dodgson). It tells of a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> was first published in 1865 by MacMilllan of London, but it was withdrawn as the illustrator, Tenniel, was unhappy with the quality of the printing. The text blocks were sent to America where they were bound with a new title page and sold there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The manuscript was illustrated by Dodgson himself who added 37 illustrations\u2014printed in a facsimile edition in 1887. John Tenniel provided 42 wood engraved illustrations for the published version of the book. The first print run of 2000 was held back\/destroyed (or sold to the United States) at Carroll's request because he was dissatisfied with the quality. The book was reprinted and published in 1866.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best-known and most popular works of English-language fiction, its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. The work has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 97 languages. Its ongoing legacy encompasses many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, art, ballet, theme parks, board games and video games. Carroll published a sequel in 1871, titled Through the Looking-Glass<\/em>, and a shortened version for young children, The Nursery \"Alice\"<\/em>, in 1890.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Illustrators of the Alice books<\/strong>, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass<\/em> (1871), number more than 100. The focus here is on English-language editions. Many other artists have created illustrations for non-English language editions. The illustrator for the original editions was John Tenniel<\/a>, whose illustrations for Alice and Looking Glass are perhaps the best known illustrations ever published. This article is an ongoing attempt to list all major illustrators of the Alice books from 1899 to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[ninja_tables id=\"78612\"]\n\n\n\n

The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria<\/strong><\/em> by John Ruskin<\/a> was originally written in 1841 for the twelve-year-old Effie (Euphemia) Gray, whom Ruskin later married. It was published in book form in 1851, and became an early Victorian classic which sold out three editions. In the \"Advertisement to the First Edition\", which prefaces it, it is called a fairy tale, one, it might be added, that illustrates the triumph of love, kindness, and goodness over evil; however, it could also be characterised as a fable, a fabricated origin myth and a parable. It was illustrated with 22 illustrations by Richard Doyle<\/a> (1824\u201383). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition.

\"Alice
Alice in Wonderland - John Tenniel<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em> (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em>) is an 1865 novel by English author Lewis Carroll<\/a> (the pseudonym of Charles Dodgson). It tells of a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> was first published in 1865 by MacMilllan of London, but it was withdrawn as the illustrator, Tenniel, was unhappy with the quality of the printing. The text blocks were sent to America where they were bound with a new title page and sold there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The manuscript was illustrated by Dodgson himself who added 37 illustrations\u2014printed in a facsimile edition in 1887. John Tenniel provided 42 wood engraved illustrations for the published version of the book. The first print run of 2000 was held back\/destroyed (or sold to the United States) at Carroll's request because he was dissatisfied with the quality. The book was reprinted and published in 1866.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best-known and most popular works of English-language fiction, its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. The work has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 97 languages. Its ongoing legacy encompasses many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, art, ballet, theme parks, board games and video games. Carroll published a sequel in 1871, titled Through the Looking-Glass<\/em>, and a shortened version for young children, The Nursery \"Alice\"<\/em>, in 1890.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Illustrators of the Alice books<\/strong>, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass<\/em> (1871), number more than 100. The focus here is on English-language editions. Many other artists have created illustrations for non-English language editions. The illustrator for the original editions was John Tenniel<\/a>, whose illustrations for Alice and Looking Glass are perhaps the best known illustrations ever published. This article is an ongoing attempt to list all major illustrators of the Alice books from 1899 to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[ninja_tables id=\"78612\"]\n\n\n\n

The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria<\/strong><\/em> by John Ruskin<\/a> was originally written in 1841 for the twelve-year-old Effie (Euphemia) Gray, whom Ruskin later married. It was published in book form in 1851, and became an early Victorian classic which sold out three editions. In the \"Advertisement to the First Edition\", which prefaces it, it is called a fairy tale, one, it might be added, that illustrates the triumph of love, kindness, and goodness over evil; however, it could also be characterised as a fable, a fabricated origin myth and a parable. It was illustrated with 22 illustrations by Richard Doyle<\/a> (1824\u201383). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Frances Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales<\/em> (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de S\u00e9gur<\/a> (Sophie Fedorovna Rostopchine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after the publication of Old French Fairy Tales<\/a><\/em>, a new title including commissioned works from Sterrett was presented by the Penn Publishing Company\u2014Tanglewood Tales<\/em> (1921). From 1923, in failing health, Sterrett was able to work on projects for short periods of time only and as a result, she was able to complete just one further commission prior to her death\u2014her own interpretation of Arabian Nights<\/a><\/em> (1928).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls<\/strong><\/em> (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/a>, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys<\/em>. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanglewood Tales <\/em>contains six famous stories. The first one is Theseus and the Minotaur<\/em>, in which the Greek hero Theseus slays the terrible monster who lives in a Labyrinth below the palace of King Minos. He is helped by Princess Ariadne, who falls in love with the young stranger who comes to slay the fabled creature and deliver the citizens of the land from the evil beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second story describes one of the incidents from the Odyssey. The Palace of Circe<\/em> recounts the legend of the loathsome monster, Circe, who turns all people into beasts. How the brave Ulysses saves his men and other unfortunate people whom Circe has enslaved is told in an entertaining and exciting manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Prosperina, her mother Ceres the Earth Goddess and the dark ruler of the Underworld, Vulcan is told in the third story, The Pomegranate Seeds<\/em>. The story of Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia is retold in The Pygmies<\/em>. This is a little known story, set in Africa and is based on both Greek and Berber legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon's Teeth <\/em>is a delightful retelling of the myth of Europa and her brothers. One of the brothers, Cadmus, who is the only one of the family left behind after Zeus abducts Europa, slays a monstrous dragon who preys upon the surrounding villages. The goddess Athena advises Cadmus to sow the dragon's teeth in the ground and a race of fine warriors springs up, and thus is built the city of Cadmeia the capital of Thebes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last story is one of the most famous in Greek mythology: Jason and The Golden Fleece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/strong><\/em> (composed in April 1859 and published in 1862) is a narrative poem by Christina Rossetti<\/a>. The poem tells the story of Laura and Lizzie who are tempted with fruit by goblin merchants. In a letter to her publisher, Rossetti claimed that the poem, which is interpreted frequently as having features of remarkably sexual imagery, was not meant for children. However, in public Rossetti often stated that the poem was<\/em> intended for children, and went on to write many children's poems. When the poem appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems<\/em>, it was illustrated by her brother, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood <\/a>artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goblin Market<\/em> tells the adventures of two close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, with the river goblins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sisters seem to be quite young, they live by themselves in a house, and draw water every evening from a stream. As the poem begins, the sisters hear the calls of the goblin merchants selling their fantastic fruits in the twilight. On this evening, Laura, intrigued by their strangeness, lingers at the stream after her sister goes home. (Rossetti hints that the \"goblin men\" resemble animals with faces like wombats or cats, and with tails.) Longing for the goblin fruits but having no money, the impulsive Laura offers to pay a lock of her hair and \"a tear more rare than pearl.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy. Once finished, she returns home in an ecstatic trance, carrying one of the seeds. At home, Laura tells her sister of the delights she indulged in, but Lizzie is \"full of wise upbraidings,\" reminding Laura of Jeanie, another girl who partook of the goblin fruits, and then died at the beginning of winter after a long and pathetic decline. Strangely, no grass grows over Jeanie's grave. Laura dismisses her sister's worries, and plans to return the next night to get more fruits for herself and Lizzie. The sisters go to sleep in their shared bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, as Laura and Lizzie go about their housework, Laura dreamily longs for the coming meeting with the goblins. That evening, however, as she listens at the stream, Laura discovers to her horror that, although her sister still hears the goblins' chants and cries, she cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to buy more of the forbidden fruit, Laura sickens and pines for it. As winter approaches, she withers and ages unnaturally, too weak to do her chores. One day she remembers the saved seed and plants it, but nothing grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months pass, and Lizzie realizes that Laura is wasting to death. Lizzie resolves to buy some of the goblin fruit for Laura. Carrying a silver penny, Lizzie goes down to the brook and is greeted warmly by the goblins, who invite her to dine. But, when the merchants realise that she has no intent to eat the fruit, and only intends to pay in silver, they attack, trying to feed her their fruits by force. Lizzie is drenched with the juice and pulp, but consumes none of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lizzie escapes and runs home, but when the dying Laura eats the pulp and juice from her body, the taste repulses rather than satisfies her, and she undergoes a terrifying paroxysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By morning, however, Laura is fully restored to health. The last stanza attests that both Laura and Lizzie live to tell their children of the evils of the goblins' fruits, and of the power of sisterly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
