\"Fairies I Have Met<\/strong> was reviewed in Outlook in its Literary Supplement of New Children's Books, November 9, 1907. The reviewer spoke of the book as 'charmingly illustrated in colour by Edmund Dulac.' It would be hard to disagree. The new and enlarged edition of 1913 was reviewed most favorably in Church Times and Spectator. With the pictures here, Dulac displays a style much more humorous and whimsical than that of his illustrations for the Bront\u00eb sisters<\/a> novels two years earlier. The subjects are painted at close range, in deep colours, creating bolder designs and showing much detail, as opposed to the distant misty room or landscape scenery of the Bronte Sisters work\" (Hughey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book.

His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights<\/a> (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest<\/a> (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam<\/a> (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty<\/a> and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen<\/a> (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe<\/a> (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura<\/a> (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fairies I Have Met<\/strong> was reviewed in Outlook in its Literary Supplement of New Children's Books, November 9, 1907. The reviewer spoke of the book as 'charmingly illustrated in colour by Edmund Dulac.' It would be hard to disagree. The new and enlarged edition of 1913 was reviewed most favorably in Church Times and Spectator. With the pictures here, Dulac displays a style much more humorous and whimsical than that of his illustrations for the Bront\u00eb sisters<\/a> novels two years earlier. The subjects are painted at close range, in deep colours, creating bolder designs and showing much detail, as opposed to the distant misty room or landscape scenery of the Bronte Sisters work\" (Hughey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol., Arthur Rackham. First edition, 1915.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing? Read the story and find out. (Latimore and Haskell, p. 60. Riall, p.154.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing?

A Christmas Carol., Arthur Rackham. First edition, 1915.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing?

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing?

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity.

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fairies I Have Met<\/strong> was reviewed in Outlook in its Literary Supplement of New Children's Books, November 9, 1907. The reviewer spoke of the book as 'charmingly illustrated in colour by Edmund Dulac.' It would be hard to disagree. The new and enlarged edition of 1913 was reviewed most favorably in Church Times and Spectator. With the pictures here, Dulac displays a style much more humorous and whimsical than that of his illustrations for the Bront\u00eb sisters<\/a> novels two years earlier. The subjects are painted at close range, in deep colours, creating bolder designs and showing much detail, as opposed to the distant misty room or landscape scenery of the Bronte Sisters work\" (Hughey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus, Arthur Rackham. Limited First edition, 1921.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comus<\/strong><\/em> (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634<\/strong><\/em>) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton<\/a>. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fairies I Have Met<\/strong> was reviewed in Outlook in its Literary Supplement of New Children's Books, November 9, 1907. The reviewer spoke of the book as 'charmingly illustrated in colour by Edmund Dulac.' It would be hard to disagree. The new and enlarged edition of 1913 was reviewed most favorably in Church Times and Spectator. With the pictures here, Dulac displays a style much more humorous and whimsical than that of his illustrations for the Bront\u00eb sisters<\/a> novels two years earlier. The subjects are painted at close range, in deep colours, creating bolder designs and showing much detail, as opposed to the distant misty room or landscape scenery of the Bronte Sisters work\" (Hughey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Milton<\/strong> (1608 \u2013 1764) was an English poet and intellectual who served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem<\/a> Paradise Lost<\/a><\/em> (1667), written in blank verse, and widely considered to be one of the greatest works of literature ever written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Comus
Comus, Arthur Rackham. Limited First edition, 1921.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comus<\/strong><\/em> (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634<\/strong><\/em>) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton<\/a>. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fairies I Have Met<\/strong> was reviewed in Outlook in its Literary Supplement of New Children's Books, November 9, 1907. The reviewer spoke of the book as 'charmingly illustrated in colour by Edmund Dulac.' It would be hard to disagree. The new and enlarged edition of 1913 was reviewed most favorably in Church Times and Spectator. With the pictures here, Dulac displays a style much more humorous and whimsical than that of his illustrations for the Bront\u00eb sisters<\/a> novels two years earlier. The subjects are painted at close range, in deep colours, creating bolder designs and showing much detail, as opposed to the distant misty room or landscape scenery of the Bronte Sisters work\" (Hughey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of his work are still in print today<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Milton<\/strong> (1608 \u2013 1764) was an English poet and intellectual who served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem<\/a> Paradise Lost<\/a><\/em> (1667), written in blank verse, and widely considered to be one of the greatest works of literature ever written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Comus
Comus, Arthur Rackham. Limited First edition, 1921.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comus<\/strong><\/em> (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634<\/strong><\/em>) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton<\/a>. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing? Read the story and find out. (Latimore and Haskell, p. 60. Riall, p.154.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose.

After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees.

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing? Read the story and find out. (Latimore and Haskell, p. 60. Riall, p.154.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol., Arthur Rackham. First edition, 1915.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fairies I Have Met<\/strong> was reviewed in Outlook in its Literary Supplement of New Children's Books, November 9, 1907. The reviewer spoke of the book as 'charmingly illustrated in colour by Edmund Dulac.' It would be hard to disagree. The new and enlarged edition of 1913 was reviewed most favorably in Church Times and Spectator. With the pictures here, Dulac displays a style much more humorous and whimsical than that of his illustrations for the Bront\u00eb sisters<\/a> novels two years earlier. The subjects are painted at close range, in deep colours, creating bolder designs and showing much detail, as opposed to the distant misty room or landscape scenery of the Bronte Sisters work\" (Hughey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Comus
Comus, Arthur Rackham. Limited First edition, 1921.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comus<\/strong><\/em> (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634<\/strong><\/em>) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton<\/a>. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights<\/a> (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest<\/a> (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam<\/a> (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty<\/a> and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen<\/a> (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe<\/a> (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura<\/a> (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fairies I Have Met<\/strong> was reviewed in Outlook in its Literary Supplement of New Children's Books, November 9, 1907. The reviewer spoke of the book as 'charmingly illustrated in colour by Edmund Dulac.' It would be hard to disagree. The new and enlarged edition of 1913 was reviewed most favorably in Church Times and Spectator. With the pictures here, Dulac displays a style much more humorous and whimsical than that of his illustrations for the Bront\u00eb sisters<\/a> novels two years earlier. The subjects are painted at close range, in deep colours, creating bolder designs and showing much detail, as opposed to the distant misty room or landscape scenery of the Bronte Sisters work\" (Hughey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition.

\"Comus
Comus, Arthur Rackham. Limited First edition, 1921.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comus<\/strong><\/em> (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634<\/strong><\/em>) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton<\/a>. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing? Read the story and find out. (Latimore and Haskell, p. 60. Riall, p.154.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol., Arthur Rackham. First edition, 1915.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill the Minder<\/strong> is a brilliant and hilarious novel featuring the eponymous hero and the children he minds--the nine rambunctious offspring of old Crispin the mushroom-gatherer--through their picaresque adventures, which conclude with the siege and capture of a Troy. The absurd and eccentric inventions for which Robinson was revered--imagine a partnership between MacGyver and Rube Goldberg--have their origins here. The book was heralded by one contemporary reviewer as \"surely the most charming juvenile since Peter Pan.\" Wrote another: \"Child or grownup, the book will fascinate you, text and illustrations intermingling into one long delicious fancy that would make the longest and wettest day a blessing to the most restless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing? Read the story and find out. (Latimore and Haskell, p. 60. Riall, p.154.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, his fame was such that the term \"Heath Robinson\" was used in the United Kingdom to refer to such machinary, much as the term \"Rube Goldberg\" was used in the United States. \"Bill the Minder<\/strong>\" is written and illustrated by W. Heath Robinson, and this first UK edition is replete with line drawings in Robinson's bold and confident style (well over 100, including chapter head- and tail-pieces), as well as sixteen colour plates visualising the fanciful world the characters explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill the Minder<\/strong> is a brilliant and hilarious novel featuring the eponymous hero and the children he minds--the nine rambunctious offspring of old Crispin the mushroom-gatherer--through their picaresque adventures, which conclude with the siege and capture of a Troy. The absurd and eccentric inventions for which Robinson was revered--imagine a partnership between MacGyver and Rube Goldberg--have their origins here. The book was heralded by one contemporary reviewer as \"surely the most charming juvenile since Peter Pan.\" Wrote another: \"Child or grownup, the book will fascinate you, text and illustrations intermingling into one long delicious fancy that would make the longest and wettest day a blessing to the most restless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Comus
Comus, Arthur Rackham. Limited First edition, 1921.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comus<\/strong><\/em> (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634<\/strong><\/em>) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton<\/a>. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill the Minder - W. Heath Robinson. First edition, 1912.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In fact, his fame was such that the term \"Heath Robinson\" was used in the United Kingdom to refer to such machinary, much as the term \"Rube Goldberg\" was used in the United States. \"Bill the Minder<\/strong>\" is written and illustrated by W. Heath Robinson, and this first UK edition is replete with line drawings in Robinson's bold and confident style (well over 100, including chapter head- and tail-pieces), as well as sixteen colour plates visualising the fanciful world the characters explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill the Minder<\/strong> is a brilliant and hilarious novel featuring the eponymous hero and the children he minds--the nine rambunctious offspring of old Crispin the mushroom-gatherer--through their picaresque adventures, which conclude with the siege and capture of a Troy. The absurd and eccentric inventions for which Robinson was revered--imagine a partnership between MacGyver and Rube Goldberg--have their origins here. The book was heralded by one contemporary reviewer as \"surely the most charming juvenile since Peter Pan.\" Wrote another: \"Child or grownup, the book will fascinate you, text and illustrations intermingling into one long delicious fancy that would make the longest and wettest day a blessing to the most restless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition.

\"Comus
Comus, Arthur Rackham. Limited First edition, 1921.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comus<\/strong><\/em> (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634<\/strong><\/em>) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton<\/a>. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called \"the Lady\", lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus<\/em>, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: \u039a\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with \"gums of glutinous heat\", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comus urges the Lady to \"be not coy\" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one's nature are \"natural\" and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one's higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit<\/em>, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit<\/em> along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina<\/em> who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing? Read the story and find out. (Latimore and Haskell, p. 60. Riall, p.154.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol., Arthur Rackham. First edition, 1915.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/a><\/strong> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator. Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christopher Morley<\/strong> (1890 \u2013 1957) was an American journalist, novelist, essayist and poet. He also produced stage productions for a few years and gave college lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the Blue Begins<\/strong> is a satire by Christopher Morley about a dog named Gissing (after the author George Gissing) who lives alone (except for his Japanese butler Fuji the Pug), in a little house in the country, in a woodland suburb region called the Canine Estates. In this book all of the characters are dogs. Poodles, Spaniels, Chows, Beagles, Sealyham's, Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Whippets, Borzois', Airedales, Dobermann-Pinschers, Pointers and Scotties. The story appeared two years after Morley's collection of humorous essays Pipefuls. \"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.\" What breed of dog was Gissing? Read the story and find out. (Latimore and Haskell, p. 60. Riall, p.154.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol., Arthur Rackham. First edition, 1915.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas<\/strong><\/em>, commonly known as A Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>, is a novella by Charles Dickens<\/a>, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol<\/em> recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol<\/em> during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving<\/a> and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fairies I Have Met<\/strong> was reviewed in Outlook in its Literary Supplement of New Children's Books, November 9, 1907. The reviewer spoke of the book as 'charmingly illustrated in colour by Edmund Dulac.' It would be hard to disagree. The new and enlarged edition of 1913 was reviewed most favorably in Church Times and Spectator. With the pictures here, Dulac displays a style much more humorous and whimsical than that of his illustrations for the Bront\u00eb sisters<\/a> novels two years earlier. The subjects are painted at close range, in deep colours, creating bolder designs and showing much detail, as opposed to the distant misty room or landscape scenery of the Bronte Sisters work\" (Hughey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
