Canadian fairy tales

MacMillan, Cyrus, 1880-1953 · 1922 · London : John Lane · 26 pictures

Canadian fairy tales is a 1922 London collection of folk tales retold by Cyrus MacMillan and published by John Lane, drawing on Indigenous North American stories and aimed at general young readers. The pictures are a mix of black-and-white woodcut-style prints and colour plates, showing seated figures, a boy with a wolf, and feathered headdresses against dark or landscape backgrounds, with strong contrast of black and white shapes and bold patterned clothing a designer could borrow for graphic work.
