In this fascinating book, art historian James Hamilton examines the work and life of the illustrator Arthur Rackham. Rackham`s illustrations for works such as Rip Van Winkle, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, Alice in Wonderland and A Midsummer Night`s Dream have attained the classic status of the writings themselves – indeed, in some cases they have become synonymous with them. Rackham himself, however, has previously remained a shadowy figure. As well as featuring exquisite illustrations and sketches, extracts from Rackham`s correspondence and insightful commentary from James Hamilton shed new light on this much collected illustrator.
