There is a certain kind of magic that only old fairy tales carry.
This vintage 1979 edition of English Fairy Tales, retold by F. A. Steel and illustrated by Arthur Rackham, is a reprint of the original 1918 publication.
Inside, you’ll discover a collection of traditional English tales, each one steeped in folklore and accompanied by Rackham’s beautifully haunting illustrations...delicate, intricate, and unmistakably his own. His imagery lends the book a slightly darker, more ethereal quality, making it especially suited to those drawn to shadowed woods and old, whispered legends.
The book remains in good vintage condition, with some toning to the edges. The dust jacket has some foxing.
Perfect for styling within a cottagecore or dark cottagecore space, a Victorian-inspired reading nook, or any home that leans toward the poetic and the peculiar.
