二十世纪初，彩色插图书风靡一时--尤其是童话故事和奇幻冒险。英国艺术家沃里克-戈布尔（Warwick Goble，1862-1943年）是一位水彩技法专家，是那个时代首屈一指的插画家之一。这本作品集汇集了他最好的童话形象，收录了86幅来自永恒的民间故事中令人难忘的场景。

国际性的插图从查尔斯-金斯利的《水宝宝》开始，随后是格雷斯-詹姆斯的《绿柳和其他日本童话》，以及《孟加拉民间故事》和《意大利五角星故事》中的图片。图片灵感来自《童话书》，包括小红帽、灰姑娘、拇指汤姆和穿靴子的猫等熟悉的人物。

At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a rage for colorfully illustrated books—especially fairy tales and fantasy adventures. English artist Warwick Goble (1862–1943), an expert in watercolor techniques, was among the era's premier illustrators. This one-of-a-kind collection gathers the best of his fairy tale imagery, featuring eighty-six visions of memorable scenes from timeless folk tales.

The international array of illustrations begins with Charles Kingsley's The Water-Babies, followed by pictures from Grace James's Green Willow and Other Japanese Fairy Tales, as well as Folk-Tales of Bengal and the Italian Stories from the Pentamerone. Images inspired by The Fairy Book; The Best Popular Fairy Stories Selected and Rendered Anew include such familiar characters as Little Red-Riding-Hood, Cinderella, Tom Thumb, and Puss in Boots.

A contemporary of Remington and Rackham, Warwick Goble produced lovely watercolor paintings that perfectly illustrated fairy tale subjects. Specializing in Japanese and Indian themes, he became famous for illustrating both magazines and books, including H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds.
