So when I saw this book on the returns trolley in the library I just had to pick it up. Where I first saw Arthur Rackham's illustrations is lost now, in the mists of time: I have loved them for as long as I can remember. He clerked and in his spare time studied at the Lambeth School of Art.”. I never cared for the fairy tales and folklores the book contained, but the illustrations were magical. They really brought the out the spirit of the stories - all the It was, after all, a Dickensian world as well, where clerks played a significant role in both fiction and real life. I retained an interest that has followed me through my life, keeping the fascination with all things illustrated: works by Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielson, Mabel Lucie Attwell and many others. When I was younger, I had a very old children's book, given to me, filled with beautiful illustrations. As an illustrator, he had obvious advantages over the stage designers and directors of his day. Arthur Rackham produced extraordinary illustrations for Margaret Armour's translation of the Ring story. The definitive and sumptuous biography of the one of the world's most collectible illustrators contains a richly detailed account of his life along with beautifully enchanting pictures.
