More Celtic Fairy Tales is part of a series written by the Australian born folklorist Joseph Jacobs. This book features over two dozen stories taken from popular oral tradition and united with John D. Batten's black and white drawings, full of movement and energy. John Dickson Batten (1860-1932) was a British painter, illustrator, and printmaker who was a leading light in the Art Nouveau movement. He illustrated a series of fairy tale books written by Joseph Jacobs as well as English language versions of Arabian Nights and Dante's Inferno. His illustrations are strongly influenced by the printmakers of Japan and are characterized by an intense romanticism and refined technique. Less
