Children in Late Victorian and Edwardian times were the first to enjoy the gorgeous Fairy Books edited by Andrew Lang: 12 anthologies of fairytales from around the world, each named for a different color. The volumes debuted between 1889 and 1910, so this 1901 book appeared about midway through the series. By then, many illustrations were in color and the covers had become works of art. Here, in a gilded and lyrical Art Nouveau swirl, a Puckish lad amid toadstools offers an enormous violet to... Click for details
