"A wonderful work of art, not just a series of stories." — Carpe Libris

French-born artist Edmund Dulac (1882–1953) achieved prominence during the Golden Age of Illustration. His work encompasses a wide variety of themes and styles, although he preferred to work in watercolors and remains best known for his imaginative illustrations for fairy tales and other children's books.
Illustrator and artist Laurence Housman (1865–1959), brother of A. E. Housman, ranged in his writings from mystic poetry to political satire. A committed socialist and pacifist, he was an active supporter of women's suffrage.
