- Abstract
- en_US This is a new standard-setter for inexpensive classic editions. Barnes & Noble had presented a Rackham edition as recently as 2005 and a Griset edition in 2012. Here they put them together with Crane in a lavish book with gilt edges, a bookmark, and faux-leather binding beautifully finished in gold, brown and white. I regret that the texts seem unattributed, and I am surprised by "Fairy Story" on 318 with an illustration from Griset. There is a list of illustrations at the front of the book. Perhaps two of the best rendered are the first two: TMCM (frontispiece) and TH (internal title-page). Might these two actually come from an illustrator other than the three named? There is an AI on 453. Colored illustrations abound!
