The Publishers make no apology for a new edition of this "evergreen" book. They feel that the fine drawings of Mr. Arthur Rackham are a sufficient raison d'etre for their reappearance. Most of the designs appeared as line drawings in an edition issued in 1899, but they were subsequently worked over, revised, and coloured by the artist, some entirely new designs added.
