I do love the subtitle of
this book, "Fairy Tales of the Allied Nations". I also love that this collection is varied and contains a lot of lesser known tales, even, it would seem, for the time (1916).

The Fire Bird (second plate - see above plate for link to tale) |
These are just the full page color plates for the titles but they're worthy of showcasing on their own. If you don't know the tales, I've provided links below each so you can go catch up on some lovely reading.

Bashtchelik (Or, Real Steel) - A Serbian Fairy Tale (second color plate - tale link on plate above) |
One fairy tale in this book I can't find a color plate for is: The Queen of the Many Colored Bedchamber (an Irish Fairy Tale) and I haven't been able to find any other illustrations by anyone else for this tale either, but I'll keep looking.
Enjoy!
Oh, be still my heart! These are so so gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them!
