EVANS: Charles Seddon Evans was Rackham’s editor at William Heinemann. In 1919 he expanded the tale of Cinderella from Charles Perrault’s 1697 collection to create a tailor-made setting for Rackham’s illustrations. This was such a success that, the following year, they collaborated again, this time on The Sleeping Beauty. Once more Evans lengthened the story, retelling it in his inimitable conversational style. (The Folio Society). At over 6 lbs. with packing materials, due to the size and weight, an additional shipping charge will likely apply. Full refund if not satisfied.
