The Art of Book Design: The Yellow Fairy Book.


Andrew Lang. The Yellow Fairy Book. Illustrations by H. J. Ford. London & New York, Longmans, Green, and Co., 1894.

This week’s Andrew Lang book of fairy stories is brought to you by the colour yellow. The illustrations are again done by the talented H. J. Ford and I’ve added my favourites below the fold. There are big birds, dancing dragons, serpents, witches, beautiful maidens, brave dogs and a goat who made me smile. I hope you enjoy
