The name Kay Nielsen is synonymous with the most imaginative illustration of fairy tales done in our time. Nielsen is one of the few exceptions among decorative illustrators. To the craftsmanship for which Danes are notes, he unites an amazing imagination which gives life to every line and beauty to every color. The beautiful, illuminated borders of his pages are as lovingly done as the center figures. The episodes, whether from Eastern or Norse tales, are finely dramatized. The ornamentalist will be pleased, because of the various kinds of ornament, wherever borrowed, are true to type. The fairy tale enthusiast will respond to the subjects and the artist will be delighted with Nielsen's variety and invention in design.
