Featuring 10 full-color plates, numerous black-and-white images, a redesigned layout, a lovely new font, and fresh border details, this gorgeous hardcover facsimile of a treasured 1875 edition recaptures the fairy tale's magic with a poetic retelling by a noted Victorian author and artist.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Although active throughout her long life, painter and illustrator Eleanor Vere Boyle (1825-1916) kept a low profile, as was the custom for aristocratic women of her era. Admirers of her work included Dante Gabriel Rosetti, and Boyle's moody, dramatic style has a decidedly pre-Raphaelite air. In addition to her masterpiece, <i>Beauty and the Beast, </i> she illustrated the poetry of Tennyson and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen.
