The book: A superb signed limited first edition of A Fairy Garland, one of Edmund Dulac’s elegant late Golden Age productions. Published in 1928 in an edition of only 1,000 signed copies, this volume gathers fairy tales from the old French tradition and presents them with Dulac’s unmistakable atmosphere: refined figures, jewel-like colour, delicate exoticism, and a dreamlike sense of theatrical stillness. This copy is especially attractive in its fine full blue morocco binding.

The contents: Includes “The Fairy Song,” “Riquet with the Tuft,” “Puss in Boots,” “Bablet,” “Green Dragon,” “Fortunata,” “The Blue Bird,” “Princess Rosetta,” and “Mayblossom,” drawing from the fairy-tale worlds of Perrault, Madame d’Aulnoy, and Count Anthony Hamilton.

The illustrator: Edmund Dulac (1882–1953) was one of the great illustrators of the Golden Age of illustrated books. Born in Toulouse and later naturalized British, he became celebrated for his richly coloured plates, elegant compositions, and refined decorative style. His work for gift books and deluxe editions placed him alongside Arthur Rackham and Kay Nielsen as one of the defining illustrators of early twentieth-century fantasy and fairy literature.
