In Fairyland

A beautiful collection of fairy tales with illustrations from the beloved Swiss illustrator, Hans Fischer.

Hans Fischer, the beloved Swiss illustrator known as “Fis,” illustrated a large number of children’s books in his lifetime, the best known being Pitschi and The Birthday. 

His illustrations, drawn with precision and humor, bring utter delight to these finest of tales by the Brothers Grimm: “The Musicians of Bremen,” “Riff-Raff,” the little-known illustrations Rum-Pum-Pum (A Fairyland Parade), “Puss in Boots” based on Charles Perrault, “Red Riding Hood,” “Lucky Hans,” “The Hare and the Hedgehog,” “The Brave Little Tailor,” “Hansel and Gretel,” and “The Seven Ravens.”

This collection is a treat for the whole family.
