"Andersen's Fairy Tales" Hans Christian Andersen, Illustrations By Helen Stratton (Published by Blackie & Son Limited, London and Glasgow 1935) - Part 2



The striking illustrations by British artist Helen Stratton (1867-1961). Was very lucky to have found this book recently, even though it's in tatters and barely holding together. A short biography on wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Stratton
