Irish fairy tales
Irish fairy tales, retold by James Stephens and illustrated by Arthur Rackham, published in London by Macmillan in 1920 as a collection of Irish folk stories for a general readership. The pictures range from dense, twisting pen-and-ink tree and rock forms with heavy shadow to simple black-and-white silhouette designs with Celtic knotwork borders, giving a designer both atmospheric tonal texture and bold graphic framing devices.
