The Zankiwank and the Bletherwitch - Illustrated by Arthur Rackham

This book forms part of our Pook Press imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in childrens 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 Childrens 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 Rackhams beautiful images which only serve to refine Adair Fitzgeralds masterful story-telling.
