By Nathaniel Hawthorne
Illustrator: Rackham, Arthur
The "Wonder Book" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a children's book that retells the stories of six tales: The Gorgon's Head, The Golden Touch, The Paradise of Children, The Three Golden Apples, The Miraculous Pitcher, and The Chimaera. This book is also notable for the beautiful color artwork of Arthur Rackham, which is widely collected and highly sought-after.
The book's boards and spine are red-clothed, with a gilt image and title on the cover. The boards have slight soiling, edgewear with bumping, and minor fraying on the bottom edge of the back cover. The text block is lightly aged-tanned. Arthur Rackham illustrated twenty-four plates, sixteen of which are beautiful tipped-in colored illustrations.
