Описание: 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' is the best known work of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898) - better known by his pen name, 'Lewis Carroll'. Telling the tale of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by surreal and anthropomorphic creatures, the book was a huge commercial success on its initial publication in 1865. The book plays at the heart of logical problems and literary nonsense - giving the narrative lasting popularity with adults and children alike. The story is accompanied by a series of dazzling, full colour, Arthur Rackham illustrations (1867 - 1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackham's artistry is quite simply, unparalleled. Throughout his career, he developed a unique style, combining haunting humour with dream-like romance. In this text, he portrays a wonderland which could disturb as often as it enchanted; a dark place depicted in dark hues of brown, greens and greys - giving a beautiful and ethereal nature to Alice's imaginary realm. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Carroll's masterful storytelling. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's literature - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.

Описание: When young, solitary archaeologist Marina Feroe meets a beautiful young man with an interest in Norse myths, she believes her life has turned for the better. But the last thing she expects, when she sneaks after him into the woods one night, is that he is actually Bauldr, younger son of Odin.Days later, winter suddenly descends. Bauldr has been killed. Marina is the only one who knows how to bring him back-but to do so she must travel all through Midgard, with Hel's wolves on her heels. She has no choice but to bargain help from the only one who will listen: Loki, the Mischief Maker.The one who murdered Bauldr."Speak," Thor bade her, taking another swig of mead. "Tell us this horrible tale of yours.""Yes, please do," Loki said snidely. Marina tucked her left hand against herself, a quiver running down through her whole body as Loki's eyes narrowed. She cleared her throat-but when she opened her mouth, nothing came out. She looked down at Bird, panicked."You know which one I mean, Marina," he said easily. "Go on. It's one of my favorites."She swallowed, cleared her throat again, took a breath..."There are several versions of this story," she managed. "But I think...I like the version my dad told me best." She swallowed. "Once upon a time..." she said, unable to think of anything else. "You wake up...Your Highness...and discover that Mjollnir isn't anywhere in your room." She paused, grasping her left hand with her right. "It's been stolen.""How?" Thor demanded. "No one can pick it up but me "Loki snapped his fingers and grinned. Thor frowned at him."What?""Well, it's obviously magic," Loki said, as if Thor was stupid. "You did it, then " Thor pointed at him. Loki's mouth fell open."I did not ""How do you know?" Thor cried. "You don't even know the story " He whirled on Marina. "Did Loki do it?""No," Marina admitted."See?" Loki gestured sharply at her. "But he goes to find out who did," she went on. "So...he borrows Freya's winged cloak and flies all the way to Jotunheim-""That would be a nice thing to have," Loki remarked. "A winged cloak.""Be quiet," Bird told him...".And he sees Thrym, the king of the Frost Giants, standing on a cliff," Marina said. "Loki lands beside him, and asks him about their problem. Thrym admits he took the hammer. He's very proud of himself for stealing something right out from underneath Thor's nose. Loki tells him that Thor wants it back. Thrym says no.""You ought to kill him," Thor muttered."I ought to try, yes," Loki nodded. "If I wanted to wind up pasted to the side of the mountain." "Shut up and let the little thing talk," Thor ordered. Loki searched the ceiling in exasperation, scooted noisily back and propped his feet up on the table. "Talk," Thor said again to Marina. She risked a glance around-To see that many of the other Aesir had started listening to her. They had quieted their conversations, and their blue eyes found her. "Well," Marina shifted tightly, her voice low. "Thrym tells him that the only way he'll give Mjollnir back is if they bring Freya to be his wife.""Hm," Loki said, putting his elbow on his armrest and propping the side of his head on his fist. "That'll go well.""Mm," Thor grunted. "So what do we do?""Um...Heimdall has an idea-""Who is Heimdall?" Loki made a face. "I don't know anyone named Heimdall," Thor told her. "Um..." Marina faltered. "Well, someone has an idea-""Who?" Loki pressed."Loki does," Bird filled in."All right," Marina said quietly. "Loki does." Thor openly groaned and rubbed his eyes. "Ah, so it's my idea." Loki grinned."He says Thor should put on a dress and veil and pretend to be Freya, and when the giants let him in, he can steal Mjollnir back."A rippling chuckle ran through the ranks of Aesir. Thor peeked over his hand."A dress?"Loki waggled his eyebrows at Thor and kept grinning.

Описание: Arthur Rackham's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', is one of his finest, and most sought after works of illustration. Originally published in 1908, his Shakespearean fairies are some of his best-known work, with his 'gnarled trees and droves of fairies, representing the visual reality of the Dream for thousands of readers... here, he excelled especially in landscape, and in reconciling dream and reality, giving himself to the luxury of rich detail with a rare generosity.' 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is a comedy play - one of Shakespeare's lighter works, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1597. Both in text, and on stage, it is one of Shakespeare's most popular narratives, and remains widely performed across the world. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), was one of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackham's artistry is quite simply, unparalleled.

Описание: 'The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie' was written by the German composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883). The works are based loosely on characters from the Norse sagas, and are here translated into English by Margaret Armour. The chief components include 'The Rhinegold' - the prelude, 'The Valkyrie' - the first day of the trilogy, 'Siegfried' - the second day of the trilogy, and 'The Twilight of the Gods' - the third day of the trilogy. Initially establishing his reputation as a romantic composer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk ('total work of art'), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts. The edition of 'The Rhinegold and The Valkyrie' is accompanied throughout by a series of dazzling colour and black and white illustrations - by a master of the craft; Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackham's artistry is quite simply, unparalleled. Throughout his career, he developed a unique style, combining haunting humour with dream-like romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Wagner's captivating storytelling.
