Told Again; Old Tales Told Again was compiled by Walter de la Mare, and contains illustrations by A. H. Watson. It is a wonderful collection of traditional fairy tales, including favourites such as 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'Jack and the Beanstalk', 'Bluebeard', 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Rumpelstiltskin' and 'Snow-White.' Walter de la Mare (1873 - 1956) was an English poet, short story writer and novelist, best remembered for his works for children, and his poem 'The Listeners.' He composed many short-story collections, though folkloric tales were a particular fascination. This edition of Old Tales Told Again is accompanied by the drawings of Alice Helena Watson (1896 1984); a graceful and unique illustrator. Watson largely focused on children s and nursery tales, but also provided illustrations for dust-jackets, magazines, and other one-off pieces. Her sinuous black-and white illustrations further refine and enhance the carefully collated stories of De La Mare making this a book to delight both young and old alike. Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in children s literature a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.
