7 Mor Dark Tales

Description

This collection of 7 further dark tales, is a startling and imaginative take on the the fairytale form, following on from the first book in this series, 7 Dark Tales. This time inspired by the tales of Hans Christian Andersen, each narrative gently unfolds, reminiscent of ancient, oral story-telling. It is exquisitely illustrated with 7 colour plates and 14 black-and-white 'woodcut'-style illustrations. The book is beautifully produced, featuring colour plates, tipped-in glassine sheets, and gold motifs on the inside pages, while the full colour case has a matt finish combined with spot gloss varnish and a gold foil stamp. The book also includes head-and-tail bands and a ribbon marker.
