This is my dad’s 1952 copy of this edition - the last major book that Rackham, possibly the most highly regarded illustrator of all time, completed. My dad read it to us in instalments. A deep journey through pastoral beauty, the foolishness of faddish wealth, mystic forest visions, and dark and dangerous journeys of redemption.</p>
