About this ebook
This series of books celebrates the Golden Age of Illustration. During this period, the popularity, abundance and - most importantly - the unprecedented upsurge in the quality of illustrated works marked an astounding change in the way that publishers, artists and the general public came to view this hitherto insufficiently esteemed art form.
The Golden Age of Illustration Series, has sourced the rare original editions of these books and reproduced the beautiful art work in order to build a unique collection of illustrated fairy tales.
Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish writer and author of many notable books including The Snow Queen. He specialized in writing fairytales that were inspired by tales he had heard as a child. As his writing evolved his fairytales became more bold and out of the box. Andersen's stories have been translated into more than 125 languages and have inspired many plays, films and ballets.

And so they came into the poultry-yard.

Now bend your neck, and say Quack!

What’s that?
said the woman, looking around.
Helen Stratton
Can you lay eggs?
John Hassall
In this house lived an old woman with a cat and a hen… What’s this?
asked the woman. She could not see well, and so she believed the duckling was a fat duck.
Hans Tegner
Huffy!
John Hassall
And the cat said, Can you pur?

The duckling watching the swans.
John Hassall
One evening a flock of beautiful birds rose from the brushwood.
