The Zankiwank and the Bletherwitch - Illustrated by Arthur Rackham S. J. Fitzgerald

This book forms part of our 'Pook Press' imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in children's literature and transforming the best works into modern-day collections which can be enjoyed for generations to come. 'The Zankiwank and the Bletherwitch' is a true classic of Children's literature; an imaginative foray into unchartered territories, situations and characters. It was written in 1896 by S. J. Adair Fitzgerald, and has remained a popular, though little understood book ever since. The text is accompanied by a series of elegant black-and-white illustrations by Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration, his artistry still delights both young and old over a century later. The text is presented in its original translation, alongside Rackham's beautiful images which only serve to refine Adair Fitzgerald's masterful story-telling.
