The book includes over 60 illustrations by Charles Robinson, who also illustrated Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1907), Grimm's Fairy Tales (1910), and Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden (1911). These illustrations have been carefully restored and formatted for your ereader by Eltanin Publishing.
