Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales
1995 (First Edition Thus).
The Folio Society
, London, England
Some of the most beautiful illustrations ever in children's literature adorn this marvellous compendium of famous tales; Heath Robinson being a central member of the Golden Age of Illustrators in the early 1900's. Could be a lucky child's proudest possession and is surprisingly scarce too.
