Publisher's Synopsis
Arthur Rackham ranks among the preeminent figures from the golden age of British book illustration, an era that extended from the final decade of the nineteenth century to the end of World War I. Known as 'the Beloved Enchanter', Rackham created images that captivated both children and adults with their unusual combination of whimsy, romance, and sophistication. This comprehensive profile, published 21 years after the artist's death, remains one of the best sources of information on his oeuvre and personal history.
