The Victorian Fairy Tale Book Paperback - 2002
by Michael Patrick Hearn
This delightful selection of 17 stories and poems from the Golden Age of the English fairy tale features beloved Victorian-era classics: from Browning's "Pied Piper of Hamelin" and Thackeray's "Rose and the Ring" to Grahame's "Reluctant Dragon" and Barrie's "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens."
First line
In a secluded and mountains part of Stiria, there was, in old time, a valley of the most surprising and luxuriant fertility.
From the jacket flap
From Robert Browning's "Pied Piper of Hamelin and William Makepeace Thackeray's "Rose "and the "Ring to Kenneth Grahame's "Reluctant Dragon and J. M. Barrie's "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, here are seventeen classic stories and poems from the golden age of the English fairy tale. Some of them amuse, some enchant, some satirize and criticize, but each one-in the words of Laurence Houseman, author of the classic Rocking-Horse Land- "is an expression of the joy of living."
Accompanied by the illustrations from the original editions of these works-by such celebrated Victorian artists as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Maxfield Parrish, and Arthur Rackham-this collection will delight readers both young and old.
