Description

C. S. Evans retold Perrault’s tale at length for a generation of English children, and the book was illustrated throughout with silhouettes — black cut-paper figures set against washes of rose — in the manner that made the volume one of the most admired gift books of its year.All the two-colour plates are reproduced here in colour, as printed.This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1920 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
