Content and Illustrations: This delightful anthology gathers traditional fairy tales treasured by generations of children.

What makes this volume especially enchanting is its use of authentic colour illustrations reproduced from rare nursery postcards produced between 1900 and 1940 by many talented artists of the era. These vivid, decorative, and often whimsical images capture the golden age of postcard art and children's book illustration. The introduction provides fascinating historical context on fairy tale traditions and includes short biographies and portraits of key illustrators featured, such as: Joyce Mercer, Millicent Sowerby, Charles Folkard, Hilda Miller, Margaret Tarrant, Lilian Govey, Susan Pearse, and others (including works by or in the style of popular artists like those from the Art Deco and earlier periods). Artists represented emphasise nursery themes with bright, detailed scenes perfectly suited to the stories. Dawn and Peter Cope were a husband-and-wife team known for curating and presenting nostalgic collections of vintage children's illustrations. They carefully selected and compiled these postcard artworks to revive the magic of early 20th-century fairy tale imagery for modern readers. Their companion volumes (like the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhymes edition) are similarly prized by collectors of illustrated children's books and ephemera. Why Collect This Edition? A perfect gift for fairy tale enthusiasts, children's literature collectors, or those who appreciate vintage postcard art and Edwardian/Victorian Revival illustration. Scarce in this outstanding condition. Ideal for display or reading aloud to children. A lovely piece of publishing history blending folklore with beautiful period artwork.
