I love the tipped-in color plates of this biography. This is a nice comprehensive look at famed illustrator Arthur Rackham's life.

[Leighwoosey · Rating 3 out of 5]

A rather glowing biography of the famous illustrator. Quaintly, even for it's time, it has the color plates flimsy pasted onto the regular bound pages, easily permitting the rotter who had the book before me to tear out all the important ones. Equally quaint and equally problematic was the near total negligence of any critique of Rackham's time or cultural position and an shocking cartoon of race relations is reproduced without comment. Still, it achieves what it set out to do, to tell a charming story about a teller of charming stories.
