Violet Jacob (1863-1946) is most well known as a North East writer of historical fiction and of lyric poetry in Scots and English but she also wrote for children. This collection of short fairy tale fictions, The Golden Heart and Other Fairy Stories, is reprinted for the first time since its original publication in 1904, and makes visible an important part of Jacob's writing life. These eight tales, populated by witches, fairies, and princesses as well as talking animals and magical objects, echo aspects of both folk tradition and the classical European fairy tale canon. Jacob's protagonists seek love and happiness, enduring trials and misfortunes in order to reach a fairy tale ending; their narratives are often imbued with irony and humour, or laced with tender melancholy in the way of a Hans Christian Andersen tale. In its fantastical portraits of desire and longing, Jacob's collection is not altogether 'child-like'.Its charm and power is enriched by the original drawings by the artist May Sandheim; in their interlinking of an Art Nouveau aesthetic and fairy tale subject matter, they evokes the contemporary context of the 'Scotto-Continental Art Nouveau' movement and its female artists - such as Margaret MacDonald and Jessie M. King - who drew inspiration from fairy tales in their symbolist artworks. Published in the same year of the first performance of J.M. Barrie's famous 'fairy play', Peter Pan, The Golden Heart deserves to be restored to the tradition of Scottish fantasy and fairy tale writing. Sarah Dunnigan is a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Edinburgh University. She has written about medieval and Renaissance Scottish literature, ballads, Burns, contemporary women writers, and fairy tales. She edited Nancy Brysson Morrison's Mary Queen of Scots for Kennedy & Boyd.

The Fairy Book – The Best Popular Fairy Stories was originally published in 1913. It is a collection of classic children’s tales, compiled and edited by Dinah Craik, and illustrated by Warwick Goble. In the words of the author, it is intended as ‘the best collection attainable of that delight of all children, and of many grown people who retain the child-heart still – the old-fashioned, time-honoured classic Fairy Tale. It includes the narratives of ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Tom Thumb’, ‘Rumpelstiltskin’, ‘Snow White’, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and many more. Warwick Goble (1862 – 1943) was an illustrator of children’s books, who specialised in Japanese and Indian themes. The son of a commercial traveller, he was educated at the Westminster School of art, and specialised in chromolithographic printing. His work is delicate in its colouring, and masterful in its presentation of line and form. Some of Goble’s best known works include illustrations for Charles Kingsley’s The Water Babies, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, and H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.

Herein is a collection of three short stories about fairies, each complete with a good moral lesson – just as every fairy tale should be. Written by Edit Howes, these are historical fairy stories that deal with issues like war and peace. This is not surprising, as it was published in the aftermath of the horrors of WWI. The First World War was a disaster for New Zealand (Howes’ adoptive country) as 33% of its adult male population were killed in action. This book contains the following stories: Wonderwings - The youngest fairy wants beautiful wings like the fairy called Wonderwings, but she has to work doing good deeds to earn them. Will the fairy succeed in her endeavours? The Magic Mirror - A queen sets out to learn the secret of the neighbouring kingdom's prosperity so she can teach it to her son the king. But what does she discover? Fairy Tenderheart - One of the fairies is overcome with empathy for the warring humans and wishes to help them, even if it means leaving the other fairies forever. Will her forfeit lead to success or will the warring humans ignore her sacrifice? So, we invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Fairy culture not seen in print for over a century; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear. 10% of the net sale will be donated to charities by the publisher. ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, wonderwings, magic mirror, fairy tenderheart, Little, Queen-mother, fairies, Poppypink, beautiful, flowers, Wings, flew, fly, men, Fairyland, Westroyal, Oldest, youngest, million, country, garden, earth, heart, woman, man, alone, Eastroyal, Lovely, golden, young, plant, peace, King, land, Love, pictures, flashing, hobbled, strange, laughed, laughter, colours, kingdom, sorrow, sister, Voices, Deeps, children's, reflected, sunshine, polished, rainbows, children, shining, secret, smile, stream, night, day, North, south east, west, sleeping-chamber, Understanding, Knowledge, blackened, map-maker, wonder, wonderland, Bright, dark, darkness, Flowers, pointed, crystal, throne, obey, dreary, exciting

This is meant to be the best collection attainable of that delight of all children, and of many grown people who retain the child-heart still-the old-fashioned, time-honoured classic Fairy-tale. It has been compiled from all sources-far-off and familiar; when familiar, the stories have been traced with care to their original form, which, if foreign, has been re-translated, condensed, and in any other needful way made suitable for modern British children. Perrault, Madame d'Aulnois, and Grimm have thus been laid under contribution. Where it was not possible to get at the original of a tale, its various versions have been collated, compared, and combined; and in some instances, where this still proved unsatisfactory, the whole story has been written afresh. The few real old English fairy tales, such as Jack the Giant-Killer, Tom Thumb, etc., whose authorship is lost in obscurity, but whose charming Saxon simplicity of style, and intense realism of narration, make for them an ever-green immortality-these have been left intact; for no later touch would improve them. All modern stories have been excluded. Of course, in fairy tales instruction is not expected-we find there only the rude moral of virtue rewarded and vice punished. But children will soon discover for themselves that in real life all beautiful people are not good, nor all ugly ones wicked; that every elder sister is not ungenerous, nor every stepmother cruel. The tender young heart is often reached as soon by the imagination as by the intellect: and without attempting any direct appeal to either reason or conscience, the Editor of this Collection has been especially careful that it should contain nothing which could really harm a child. She therefore trusts that, whatever its defects, this Fairy Book will not deserve a criticism, almost the sharpest that can be given to any work-"that it would have been better if the author had taken more pains.

‘Fairies I Have Met’ is a collection of fairy tales, originally penned by Mrs Rodolph Stawell, accompanied by Edmund Dulac’s splendid colour illustrations. It was written for a little girl named Penelope, ‘so that she may love the fairies, and keep the sunbeam always in her heart.’ In a like manner, it is a text which is sure to delight all its readers – both young and old alike. It includes the stories ‘The Cloud that had no Lining’, ‘The Big Spider’s Diamonds’, ‘A Little Girl in a Book’, ‘The Box of Dreams’, ‘The Fairy Who had only one Wing’, and many more. This book contains a set of dazzling illustrations by a true master of the ‘Golden Age’; Edmund Dulac (1882 – 1953). A talented French-born, British naturalised illustrator and designer, Dulac had a particular affinity for the fairy tale. This love, as well as possessing a rigorously painterly background, produced some truly stunning images. Appearing alongside the text, his delicate illustrations further enhance and elucidate Mrs Stawell’s enchanting narratives. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.

This edition of Grimm’s Fairy Tales is a fantastic collection classic stories including such well-known and loved stories as ‘The Frog Prince’, ‘Hansel and Gretel’, ‘The Valiant Little Tailor’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Snow White’, ‘Rumpelstiltskin’ and ‘Briar Rose’. It was originally published in 1917 and is decorated with stunning black-and-white illustrations by Louis Rhead. These beautiful images further refine the enchanting storytelling – all presented together in this text. It is a book to be enjoyed by both young and old, a beautiful example of literary and artistic endeavour. The Brothers Grimm (or Die Brüder Grimm), Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors – who together specialised in collecting and publishing folklore during the nineteenth century. The popularity of their collected tales has endured well; they have been translated into more than 100 languages, and remain in print in the present day. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.
