Combining a sensitive use of line and subdued watercolors, he skillfully depicted forests of startling trees with claw-like roots, wholesome fairy maidens, monsters, and demons, and backgrounds filled with obscure figures. His inspired illustrations for the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm (1900) brought him his first great success, with a long and distinguished career to follow.This collection of 55 full-color plates, reproduced from rare early editions, contains a rich selection of Rackham's best fairy tale a giant terrorizing the inhabitants of an isolated village in English Fairy Tales , a wicked witch greeting two lost children on her doorstep in Hansel and Gretel , a young maiden beset by snarling wolves in Irish Fairy Tales , and many more, including illustrations from Snowdrop and Other Tales , Little Brother and Little Sister , and The Allies' Fairy Book .
