EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION for a VERY SPECIAL Copy that has been embellished and EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with a Splendid Fairy by marvellous author-artist Michael Hague.
Michael Hague (b.1948) is one of America's finest illustrators. In this bookseller's opinion, his artistry is as excellent as Arthur Rackham's. He has illustrated several classics to include The Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland, one of his finest achievements, The Hobbit; also wonderfully illustrated books on Irish folktales, fairy tales, several adorable books on bears, and--of course--this book on fairies.
