With Plates in Colour and many Black and White Illustrations by
JEAN DE BOSSCHÈRE
"This handsome and well-illustrated book is one of the most
attractive we have seen this season. It gives us renderings of the
popular fables and legends current in Flanders and Brabant which
have a colour and quaintness of their own, yet combines adventures
with an unobtrusive and so more effective moral."--_Saturday Review._
"There are delightful stories; even more attractive than the
letterpress are M. de Bosschère's illustrations. Conceived with
inexhaustible fancy, full of quaint detail, and set down with
a fascinating naïveté they embody the characters and scenes
of the tales with a fullness of particularism that should
provide endless entertainment to youthful readers. They are the
best and most complete series of designs yet produced by the
artist."--_Connoisseur._
"The illustrations by Jean de Bosschère are of a droll fancy. The
artist has a notable power of the grotesque, and both in colour and
black and white he uses it."--_Daily Telegraph._
