Price: US$1750.00 + shipping
Description: First edition of this collection of Grimm tales selected for this Rackham edition, in the rare original publisher's box. A mix of well known and less known Grimm fairy tales, including "Snow-White and Rose-Red," all selected by Rackham. The deep forest settings of many of these German stories, based largely upon folklore, harmonize beautifully with Rackham's style: lush brown tones with patches of bright red, trees with more personality than people, and mischievous fairies. 9.75'' x 7.25''. Original red cloth, gilt-lettered spine and front board. In original publisher's box with mounted color plate on lid. Pictorial endpapers. Illustrated by Rackham with 12 tipped-in color plates and 43 black-and-white drawings. Box scuffed, with one flap replaced.
