Description

This deluxe hardcover volume presents two classic picture books of the 1920s and '30s: Frederick Richardson's Book for Children and Old Old Tales Retold. Author and artist Frederick Richardson was highly influenced by the Art Nouveau movement, as reflected in his exquisite illustrations for "The Three Bears," "The Bremen Town Musicians," "The Little Red Hen," "The Straw Ox," and other beloved tales. Readers of all ages will rejoice in this magnificent edition, which restores both books to the format of their initial publication, complete with all of the original artwork.
