Aladdin - Or The Wonderful Lamp - Illustrated by Sidney H. Heath (The Banbury Cross Series) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781446532973)

The Banbury Cross Series was a collection of 12 volumes of books edited by Grace Rhys and published in London by Dent in the 1890s. Each book is attractively illustrated with full page and partial page pen and ink drawings in a classic Art Nouveau style by leading artists of the era. This title, Aladdin, or the Wonderful Lamp, presents the stunning black and white drawings of Sidney Heath. They capture the flavour of Eastern mysticism flawlessly, and add exotic charm to this much loved classic. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
