Undine

FOUQUÉ, De La Motte; COURTNEY, W. L.; RACKHAM, Arthur (illus.)

$1,000.00 CAD Sale

English translation of Fouqué's tragic fairytale novella in which a young water spirit marries a knight in an attempt to gain a soul. Does not work out well. But the reader, at least, has the beautiful otherworldly illustrations of Arthur Rackham, greatest of England's Golden Age illustrators.
