EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting cover illustration, created by the talented Millicent Sowerby in 1909, graces the front of a rare edition of Grimms Fairy Tales published by Grant Richards. The captivating image of a winged fairy, her delicate wings outstretched, invites readers to embark on a magical journey into the heart of these beloved stories. Millicent Sowerby's intricate and whimsical illustration style perfectly captures the ethereal and fantastical nature of the tales collected by the Brothers Grimm. The fairy's gossamer wings, delicately painted in shades of pink and gold, shimmer against the deep blue background, creating a sense of otherworldliness and wonder. Her flowing gown, adorned with intricate patterns and shimmering jewels, adds to the enchantment of the scene. The publication of this edition of Grimms Fairy Tales by Grant Richards marked a significant moment in the history of children's literature. The stories, which had been collected and published by the Brothers Grimm in the 19th century, had long been beloved by generations of children and adults alike. But it was the illustrated editions, like this one, that truly brought the tales to life, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the magical worlds of fairies, princes, and enchanted forests. Millicent Sowerby's illustrations, with their intricate details and beautiful use of color, transport readers to a world of wonder and imagination. This cover image, with its ethereal fairy and shimmering wings, is a testament to the enduring power of these stories to captivate and inspire the imaginations of readers young and old.
