Contains 16 classic fairy tales including the Frog Prince, The Snow Queen, The Swineheard etc of which each has at least one, most have several illustrations by Cameron who has a beautiful arts and crafts style suffused with a surreal quality. My favourite is The Christmas Rose , depicting the "dream of the procession of tiny children led by a tall, beautiful lady who wore a long flowing robe", all enclosed in a border of roses.
