CHRISTMAS TALES OFFLANDERS
With Plates in Colour and many
Black and White Illustrations by
JEAN DE BOSSCHÈRE
“This handsome and well-illustrated book isone of the most attractive we have seen thisseason. It gives us renderings of the popularfables and legends current in Flanders andBrabant which have a colour and quaintnessof their own, yet combines adventures with anunobtrusive and so more effective moral.”—SaturdayReview.
“There are delightful stories; even moreattractive than the letterpress are M. deBosschère’s illustrations. Conceived withinexhaustible fancy, full of quaint detail, andset down with a fascinating naïveté theyembody the characters and scenes of thetales with a fullness of particularism thatshould provide endless entertainment toyouthful readers. They are the best andmost complete series of designs yet producedby the artist.”—Connoisseur.
“The illustrations by Jean de Bosschère areof a droll fancy. The artist has a notablepower of the grotesque, and both in colourand black and white he uses it.”—DailyTelegraph.
