Edmund Dulac's Fairy Book: Fairy Tales of the Allied Nations, a hardcover collection of folklore beautifully written and illustrated by the famous French-British artist Edmund Dulac

This particular 1988 edition is a high-quality reprinting of Dulac's classic 1916 anthology. Compiled during World War I, it brings together 15 traditional folk tales from the Allied nations of the era—including France, England, Russia, Belgium, Italy, Japan, and Serbia. The volume is highly prized for its 12 vibrant, full-colour plates that showcase Dulac's signature, intricate orientalist art style.
