Examining the work of the illustrator Arthur Rackham, this monograph traces his achievements throughout his illustrious career. Rackham''s illustrations for such works as Alice in Wonderland, A Midsummer Night''s Dream, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, and Rip Van Winkle have attained the classic status of the writings themselves—and indeed, in some cases, they have become synonymous with them. His works were also included in numerous exhibitions in his lifetime, including one at the Louvre in Paris in 1914. 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 shed new light on this much-collected illustrator.
