Some years ago a selection of Grimm sF airy Tales with one hundred illustrations of mine in black and white was published in 1900, by Messrs. Freemantle and Co., and afterwards by Messrs. Archibald Constable Co., Ltd. At intervals since then I have been at work on the original drawings, partially or entirely re-drawing some of them in colour, adding new ones in colour and in black and white, and generally overhauling them as a set, supplementing and omitting, with a view to the present edition. Of the forty coloured illustrations, many are elaborations of the earlier black and white drawings or are founded on them. The frontispiece, and those facing pp. 34, 70, 94, 104,116,118, and 190 are entirely new, and several of the text illustrations also have not been pubhshed before. The remaining illustrations in the text have been reconsidered and worked on again to a greater or less degree. Hampstead, September 1909. ARTHUR RACKHAM.
