The Banbury Cross Series was a collection of 12 volumes of books edited by Grace Rhys and published in London by Dent in the 1890s. Each book is attractively illustrated with full page and partial page pen and ink drawings in a classic Art Nouveau style by leading artists of the era. The illustrator of this title, which brings the enduring tales of Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk together, is unknown. It is certain, however, that Rhys chose wisely when selecting these magnificent pen and ink illustrations to accompany her reworking of two enduring fairy tales. Elegant, simple lines sweep through the text with style and emotion. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
