Puss in Boots is one of the most famous of Charles Perrault’s tales. It was first published in 1697 in a collection of eight fairy tales called Histoires ou contes du temps passé (Stories or Tales of Past Times). Since that time, Puss in Boots has become a very popular character and has appeared in films, cartoons and comics.
Despite its popularity, the tale has been criticised by some people. For example, George Cruikshank, the British caricaturist and book illustrator, wrote, “When I came to look carefully at that story, I felt compelled to rewrite it, and alter the character of it to a certain extent, for, as it stood, the tale was a succession of successful falsehoods - a clever lesson in lying, a system of imposture rewarded by the greatest worldly advantages! - a useful lesson, truly, to be impressed upon the minds of children.”
This edition includes remarkable illustrations by Walter Crane. Crane’s work on children’s books in cooperation with the publisher Edmund Evans earned him worldwide fame in the late 19th century.

The Snow Queen is a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. It is his longest story and is considered by many as his best work. First published in 1844, it has inspired many artists and many times has been retold in movies and animation. This edition features illustrations by T. Pym (the pseudonym of Clara Creed), a Victorian artist, whose sentimental style blends very well with the Andersen’s tale. Although not widely known, the Pym’s illustrations are among the best ones created for The Snow Queen.
