Today, however, he is a woefully underappreciated writer. Written, designed, and illustrated by Leland in 1892, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of One Hundred Riddles of the Fairy Bellaria\u003c\/i\u003e is a forgotten classic and a small sample of his influential and experimental work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Book of One Hundred Riddles of the Fairy Bellaria\u003c\/i\u003e features the Scheherazade-like fairy goddess Bellaria: powerful and mysterious, courageous and clever, goddess of spring, flowers, love, fate, and death. In this story, Bellaria engages in a duel of wits with an evil king, a death match of one hundred riddles. Each riddle is spoken as a rhyme and illustrated by an original engraving in the arts and crafts style. This book is a beautiful reintroduction to Leland and his pioneering design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Godfrey Leland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517906083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517906085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zipes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.60h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Charles Godfrey Leland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985430413567,"sku":"9781517906085","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6d1aa36-3f1a-4bd9-a505-be566e869ebf.jpg?v=1683277527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-book-of-one-hundred-charles-godfrey-leland-9781517906085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
