More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is an illuminating, irresistible, and unique anthology of fairy tales written by some of the most notable writers of the Victorian period. Presented chronologically, the twenty-two tales in this volume, by such masters of storytelling as Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, and Edith Nesbitt, will enthrall readers of all ages. Most of the tales are accompanied by their original illustrations, including work by some of the best known illustrators of the time. Through his insightful introduction to the collection and his introduction to each tale, Jack Zipes brings to life the history of the development of the fairy tale, presents background material on the authors, and describes the role the fairy tale played in Victorian society.

Fairy Tales Not to Miss
5 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
A wonderful collection of lesser-known Victorian fairy tales. The anthology includes well-known writers such as Lewis Carroll, Edith Nesbit, and Rudyard Kipling - as well as 19 others. Black and white illustrations are included, and add to the fun.
It's a great book to have in the spare bedroom for guests to thumb through, or even out in the living room. Pick it up - you won't be able to put it down!
