Originally published in 1920 this charming book contains 'Puss in Boots' and many more of the oldest and most enduringly beloved fairy tales of childhood and is elegantly illustrated by the heavenly colour plates and black and white line drawings of Mabel Lucie Attwell. Contents Include: Puss in Boots; the Magic Mirror; the Goose-Girl; Brier Rose; The Iron Chest; Story of Blue Beard; Whittington and his Cat; and Cinderella. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children. About the Illustrator: Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879-1964) was a household name during the 1930s and 40s working mostly in watercolour and pen-and-ink. The public was enthusiastic about her delicate early work and her illustrations of chubby, endearing toddlers were enormously popular, lending her much commercial success. Less
